Very true. Understanding how a native speaker understands a word is better than any dictionary. What I mean is usually if you take a group of Russian words and translate them into English it comes to the same 1 English word. And usually the English word that the dictionary gives is what a native English speaker would speak. It's not the case when translating English into Russian with a dictionary though. It's just my observation.
