Hey, we share a good number of links!
WordReference is my best friend for learning specialized vocabulary and grammatical structures (usually involving prepositions) of which one never thinks to ask in class. (However, we did learn how to say "uranium enrichment"* and "sebaceous cyst"** in my high school Spanish classes.)
Thesaurus.reference.com is another favorite.
Best of both worlds: WordReference.com thesauruses.
*enriquecimiento de uranio
**quiste sebáceo
