  That’s great! One thing you could do is take our course “Como Falar Inglês Como Um Nativo”. It teaches how we reduce the sounds and sentences in English. Then listen, listen, listen! 🙂

I want to get better at collocations. Do you have any suggestions for a specific dictionary so I can improve on it?

  Hi, Galon. Learner’s dictionaries, like https://www.ldoceonline.com/ have lots of example sentences that you can use to see how words are used in contexts.
