Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Hottentots Holland Mountains are part of the Cape Fold Belt in the Western Cape, South Africa. The mountain range forms a barrier between the Cape Town metropolitan area and the southern Overberg coast.
The range is primarily composed of Table Mountain Sandstone, and forms a large range between the Cape Town outlying suburbs of Somerset West and Gordon's Bay to the west, and the large Elgin valley to the east. Sir Lowry's Pass is the only crossing, in the form of the N2 motorway. The Steenbras Dam, one of Cape Town's main supply dams, is located in the southern section of the range. This is due to the abundant rainfall experienced in the uplands, located in the Elgin Valley around the town of Grabouw on the eastern slopes.
At the start of the Great Trek in 1835 when migrants decided to leave the Cape Town area, or Cape Colony as it was then known, the first mountain range they crossed was this range. Cuts and wheel markings from their ox wagons can still be seen in rock formations in the vicinity of Sir Lowry's Pass on this mountain range. This route still serves as the primary route out of the Cape Town area for travellers heading up the east coast of South Africa.
The climate is typically Mediterranean, however it is generally much cooler and more verdant than other areas in the Western Cape, with annual precipitation exceeding 1500 mm and summertime maxima rarely exceeding 25 °C. Snow is not unusual on the higher peaks, like Verkykerkop, Somerset Sneeukop (Afrikaans: Snow Peak) at 1590 m high and The Triplets in the northern section of the range. This area and the other ranges to the south are considered the hub of the Cape floristic region with the most biodiversity in the entire fynbos biome. The surrounding lowlands have rich alluvial soils supporting viticulture and other deciduous fruit farms.
Trailblazers Hiking Club x CAPE NATURE x RIVIERSONDEREND KLOOFING Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve
On a fine Summer's day, a mix of nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts gathered in Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve for one of the Trailblazers famous Kloofing Adventures down the upper reaches of Riviersonderend.
Riviersonderend Kloofing - Grabouw
A Riviersonderend kloofing trip. It was great fun with the highest compulsory jump around 5 meters.
My only advice would be to take the escape route when you link up with Suicide Gorge...following the river all the way down is a long and slow trip.
You have to make a reservation on weekends, as it gets really busy.

Cape Canopy Tour
Located about 1 hour from Cape Town, the Cape Canopy Tour offers an exciting Zip Line route through the mountains and ravines of the CapeNature, Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve.
Thirteen slides and platforms and a suspension bridge over over a double water fall provide plenty of variety.
The longest wire is 320 metres and takes 30 seconds to complete. The fastest line can reach speeds of up to 55 km per hour but a hand brake allows your speed to be adjusted.
Two guides accompany each group of up to 8.
