Maximize the Use of Google Search Engine

Even though this blog is about free software, search engine that we can use as much as we want with no need to spend money is still categorized under this blog's topic.

Learn Japanese from Anime by Utilizing Free Software

You may familiar with the word anime, which refers to Japanese animation. An anime that we see can be in SUB version (the sound in Japanese, but with subtitle in certain language), DUB version (the sound is already dubbed in certain language other than Japanese), or RAW (the sound is still in Japanese and there is no subtitle).
