Our Story
The Seed of an Idea
PhrasesBank was born from a simple yet powerful realization: while numerous resources exist for learning English grammar and vocabulary, there was a noticeable gap when it came to mastering the intricacies of idiomatic expressions, figurative language, and verb usage. Our founder, a passionate linguist and educator, recognized the need for a centralized platform that could bridge this gap and help learners truly capture the essence of English communication.
From Concept to Reality
What began as a personal collection of interesting phrases and linguistic gems quickly blossomed into an ambitious project. In 2019, PhrasesBank.com was launched with the goal of creating the most comprehensive, user-friendly, and accessible database of English expressions on the internet. Since then, we’ve been on an exhilarating journey of growth, learning, and community building.
