People have all sorts of different reasons to learn a second language. If you're thinking of learning either Spanish, English (for Spanish speakers), French, German, Portuguese, or Italian, you have got to give Duolingo a try.

Let me tell you Duolingo is free, completely free, really free. 

The Marketplace is a new way to find quality health coverage. It can help if you don’t have coverage now or if you have it but want to look at other options. No plan can turn you away or charge you more because you have an illness or medical condition. And you’ll be able to apply for a plan that meets your needs and fits your budget.

You can go to HealthCare.gov and see all the health coverage options available to you in the Marketplace. You’ll be able to compare plans side-by-side and check out costs and benefits.

Think of buying a book at a discount? Beside Amazon, where else can you try to explore?

As one book store after another faces the fate of being closed down, a traditional book store is hard to locate in town nowadays. Today, I was lucky enough to walk into a plaza and saw a sign of "Half Price Books." It is a new store just got opened recently that I had not noticed before. I ditched the furniture store that I was planning to go. Instead, I followed my instinct and walked into this book store. I couldn't believe my eyes. I saw a wide range of books, LP, CD, audio books on the shelf.

I drive about 50 miles a day to work and back, round trip. Since I drive a lot, last year, I bought a Prius using a couple useful websites and steps. I mentioned how to get the most mileage of your car in a previous post. Today I'd like to share with you my best way of finding the cheapest gas that goes with your car with a combustion engine.

Higher education should not be a privilege only to those who can afford to pay. Who can't use some free courses? These free courses are not some basic courses at the elementary or middle school level. They are high quality courses from the top universities, for free. Yes, you read me right, FREE!

The state I live in - California - is averaging the highest gas price per gallon in the continental U.S. these days, according to the Gas Price Chart available on GasBuddy.com where you can check out the average gas of your area down to the county level. As the price at the gas pump rises steadily exceeding $4.25 per gallon in my area as of May 2012, I'm all into knowing ways to save money on gas.

MakeUseOf (MUO) is one of my favorite sources for knowing cool websites and tips. Recently, it rolled out a new monthly column on games. Every month, they said they'll be featuring some best free iPad games. The first month they featured games in the puzzle category - Arcs Free,  Blocks Free, Clockwork Brain, Doodle Fit Lite, Moonlight Mahjong Lite, and my favorite Cut the Rope.

This month marks my first anniversary of owning a Prius HB II that I bought for $22,188 (before tax). If I were to do it again this year, I'd follow a simple three-stops (2 online and 1 offline) shopping process:

1. Go to TRUECar.com for a price reference.
   
2. Sign up to CarWoo.com to get three or more real offers a day. Pick one.
   
3. Go to the dealer to complete the transaction and drive away with the car.
