Hi, it’s no bother! I use Naver Dictionary which I like because it usually has pretty good example sentences. It also often gives entries on idioms and expressions and usages notes. Also, when your level gets high enough to read Korean explanation you can use it to look up Hanja (Chinese characters) and more in depth discussions of word usage.
