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
=======
Albert Schweitzer, OM (14 January 1875 – 4 September 1965) was an Alsatian theologian, organist, writer, humanitarian, philosopher, and physician. A Lutheran, Schweitzer challenged both the secular view of Jesus as depicted by the historical-critical method current at this time, as well as the traditional Christian view. His contributions to the interpretation of Pauline Christianity concern the role of Paul's mysticism of being in Christ as primary and the doctrine of Justification by Faith as secondary.
He received the 1952 Nobel Peace Prize for his philosophy of Reverence for Life, becoming the eighth Frenchman to be awarded that prize. His philosophy was expressed in many ways, but most famously in founding and sustaining the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné, in the part of French Equatorial Africa which is now Gabon. As a music scholar and organist, he studied the music of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach and influenced the Organ Reform Movement (Orgelbewegung).
Albert Schweitzer toujours à la mode, sa maison à Gunsbach fait peau neuve
La maison Albert Schweitzer à Gunsbach (Haut-Rhin) se modernise et s'agrandit. Cette maison servait de pied-à-terre au prix Nobel de la paix, théologien et médecin Albert Schweitzer, lorsqu'il revenait donner des concerts d'orgue et collecter de l'argent pour son hôpital de Lambaréné, au Gabon. Elle abrite un musée et le fonds Albert Schweitzer, ouvert aux chercheurs.

Fanta Maria in haar Dependance van Goedheid
Performance Fanta Maria in haar Dependance van Goedheid
Een sprookjesachtige, muzikale performance in de dagen voor kerst geïnspireerd op de verhouding tussen Robinson Crusoë en Vrijdag. Het werkstuk wordt op het Lambaréné eiland uitgevoerd, een installatie die Verdult tegen de buitengevel van het Van Abbemuseum heeft gemaakt en die vanaf de Dommeloever te zien en te beleven is. In Lambaréné (Gabon, Afrika) bouwde Albert Schweitzer een lepraziekenhuis. Verdult is gefascineerd door Schweitzer als redder in Afrika. Deze vertegenwoordigt voor hem eenzelfde soort verhouding als die tussen Robinson en Vrijdag met misverstanden die ontstaan en in stand worden gehouden bij een ontmoeting met het onbekende.
Een performance van een van Eindhovens meest eigenzinnige kunstenaars: Dick Verdult, 17-12-2011, Van Abbemuseum.
Performance Fanta Maria in haar Dependance van Goedheid
A fairytale like musical performance in the days before Christmas inpired by the relationship between Robinson Crusoë and Friday. The installation Portable Lambaréné, made by Dick Verdult on the Dommel riverbank, will be the location for the performance. In Lambaréné (Gabon, Africa) Albert Schchweitzer built a leprosy hospital. Verdult has been fascinated by Schweitzer as saviour in Africa for a long time. For him the relationship between Robinson and Friday is similar. Misunderstandings that come into being and remain when meeting the unknown.
A performance by one of Eindhovens most singular artists: Dick Verdult, 17/12/2011, Van Abbemuseum.

Expedice Lambarene byla výprava osmi studentů a absolventů pražských vysokých škol, která ve stříbřité Tatře 138 transportovala přes pět evropských a třináct afrických zemí léčiva a zdravotnický materiál do věhlasné nemocnice dr. Alberta Schweitzera v Lambarene v Gabonu. Odstartovala 1. ledna 1968 ze Staroměstského náměstí a oblouk, který Tatra urazila za 256 dní své cesty, je dlouhý přes 35 000 km. Výprava během cesty natočila 10000 metrů filmového materiálu. Po návratu vznikl z natočeného filmového materiálu 18ti dílný seriál pro Českou televizi, který máte nyní možnost vidět na 3 DVD, doplněných dalšími bonusy.
