Websites for Learning English Idioms

When you ask university-level English language learners how they would like to improve their English , many of them say they want to use more idiomatic expressions. Unfortunately, teachers seem to rarely have time to explicitly teach idioms in class.
Luckily, there are various online resources that learners can use to enlarge their repertoire of idiomatic expressions. And certainly, some of these resources can be used in classroom as well.
Here are six websites for learning idioms: 
1.The Phrase Finder
