I'm curious where you get your phrases. Do you just save interesting ones you find as you're browsing the internet or books?

When I find a word that I don't know their meaning, I look for it at the dictionary and google it. Then I choose some phrases to review.
Finally I add them to Anki (a spaced repetition flashcard program) with its audio version.

I already add sentences from various places, such as twitter, but maybe I could have someone read them from here to put the audio in with the sentences...
