Well.

Take a look at

http://dictionary.reference.com/

It seems good.
But remember that you have to know grammar, pronunciation and so on in order to speak (or write) English correctly.

Thank you

Yes, you are right, learning in my way clearly doesn't help me much. I can learn synonyms, but when I know people always laugh when I use the symnonymous noun instead of the usually used one,

This one they laughed at me years ago:
I understood "to fuel" [ to supply with combustible matter that is used to maintain fire, as coal, wood, oil, or gas, in order to create heat or power. ]
I tried to practice new meaning I just learnt "to stimulate"

I said: "The factory has announced to fuel customers with new ads" -- I meant to stimulate
but they wide-opened their eyes on me, they told me they didn't understand
But if I put stimulate in place of fuel they say "Hmmm better"
Why symnonym but I just can't use that symnonym?

vocabuglary :)

I have subscribed to the word of the day: http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/mwwod.pl Every day, I receive an e-mail containing a word in English with its pronunciation, its meaning and its origin. That's interesting.

If you want to learn French, here is the translation of two words commonly used by programmers: foo = toto, bar = titi.
