Regex match given word outside of quotes

I need to be able to match the word "internet" outside of quotations. e;g 

Internet "InternetFormula works and it's internetformula"
Internet "The internet works"

But I have no idea how to do so as Regular Expressions is complicated, and I can't find anything like it.
