Club Library - Translations of Vocabulary, Common Phrases, Slang and Expressions (Idioms)

The club library is a collection of the public notes from all of our members' notepads. As members learn new vocabulary, slang and expressions during language exchange practice, they may record them in their own member's notepad. They can choose to share each note by marking it public.

You can use the club library as a learning or translation resource, similar to a multi-language dictionary. Please note that the contents of the club library are not reviewed for accuracy, so please use your jugdement when accepting these translations.
