こんにちは。
検索する means ‘search something online using a search engine.’
On the other hand, 探す means ‘look for.’
Therefore, you can say
財布を探す I look for my wallet.
仕事を探す I look for a job.

Hello! I have a question about one of the example sentences.

グーグルは、何でも検索して探す事ができる。

In this sentence, why do you use both 検索する and 探す? When I look these up in the dictionary the meanings seem extremely similar, so I think I am missing some nuance.

Yuki-san,

I did not get the exact word in japanese in the lesson when they say “As the two person are friends, they will use informal japanese.”
What is the exact word used in the series for “informal” in japanese?

Example: RichardさんとTomさんが友達なので _______ 日本語で話します。

I

Regards,
Piang

I’m making a comeback to the comments :sunglasses:

日本語が上手になったら、たくさん歌詞を翻訳したいと思います。
When I become skilled in Japanese, I want to translate lots of song lyrics.

大人になったら、日本で英語の教師になりたいです。
When I become an adult, I want to teach English over in Japan.

僕はたくさん本を読みたいですが、学校で忙しいので、面白そうだったら読みますが、面白くなさそうだったら読みません。
I want to read lots of books, but because I’m busy with school, I’ll read the book if it looks interesting, but if it doesn’t, I won’t.

(ところで、僕はO型です :grin:

間違いがあれば修正してください。
