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.

Sovietecture Episode 3: Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine
The book depository of the library used to be one of the highest buildings in Kyiv with its peak reaching the point of 78.7 m. Not only do the sizes of the library complex tell about the power of Ukrainian and Soviet science, but also have their utilitarian functions: more than 16 million of items are stored there.

Grisha's Guide to Kiev
New Jersey-born director Jordan Blady—having made videos for the likes of Unknown Mortal Orchestra and The Naked and Famous—presents an offbeat adventure into Kiev's emerging creative scene, bringing a dose of humor to the world of fashion. With clothes provided by Ukrainian brand Ksenia Schnaider, the LA-based director says he set out to create “a fashion film that didn’t feel like a fashion film. It felt good to not only focus on Kiev’s emerging fashion talent, but also some of its rich culture and history, all of which inspired this project.”

Ukrainians mark national Day of Unity in Kyiv
Nearly 30 years ago in 1990, during the waning days of the Soviet Union, Ukraine celebrated a Day of Unity to commemorate the unification of two short-lived Ukrainian states in 1919. Today, Ukraine still celebrates that event, often with human chains symbolizing the country's unbreakable unity.

Bandura Performance by Victor Mishalow for National Library of Australia Collection
Bandura Performance by Ukrainian Bandurist Victor Mishalow for National Library of Australia Collection
A bandura (Ukrainian: банду́ра) is a Ukrainian, plucked string, folk instrument. It combines elements of the zither and lute and, up until the 1940s, was also often referred to by the term kobza. Early instruments (c. 1700) had 5 to 12 strings. In the 20th century, the number of strings increased initially to 31 strings (1926) , 56 strings (1954) and up to 68 strings on chromaticism 'concert' instruments.[2]
Musicians who play the bandura are referred to as bandurists. Some traditional bandura players, often blind, were referred to as kobzars.
The use of lute-like instruments by the inhabitants of the lands that now constitute Ukraine dates back to 591. In that year, Byzantine Greek chronicles mention Bulgar warriors who travelled with lute-like instruments they called kitharas.
There are iconographic depictions of lute-like instruments in the 11th-century frescoes of St. Sophia Cathedral in Kiev, once the capital of a vast medieval kingdom of the Rus'. It is not known by what specific term these instruments were referred to in those early times, although it has been surmised that the lute-like instrument was referred to by the generic medieval Slavic term for a string instrument—husli.
The instrument became popular in the courts of the nobility in Eastern Europe. There are numerous citations mentioning the existence of Ukrainian bandurists in both Russia and Poland. Empress Elisabeth of Russia (the daughter of Peter the Great) had a morganatic marriage to her Ukrainian court bandurist, Olexii Rozumovsky.
Use of the instrument fell into decline amongst the nobility with the introduction of Western musical instruments and Western music fashions, but it remained the favourite instrument of the Ukrainian Cossacks. After the destruction of the Zaporozhian Sich, the instrument continued to be played by wandering, blind musicians known as kobzari primarily in Right-bank Ukraine.

Bandura Instruments:
A bandura is a Ukrainian, plucked string, folk instrument. It combines elements of the zither and lute and, up until the 1940s, was also often referred to by the term kobza. Early instruments (c. 1700) had 5 to 12 strings. In the 20th century, the number of strings increased initially to 31 strings, and up to 68 strings on chromaticised 'concert' instruments.
Musicians who play the bandura are referred to as bandurists. Some traditional bandura players, often blind, were referred to as kobzars.
The back of a traditional bandura is usually carved from a solid piece of wood (either willow, poplar, cherry or maple). Since the 1960s, glued-back instruments have also become common; even more recently, banduras have begun to be constructed with fiberglass backs. The soundboard is traditionally made from a type of spruce. The wrest planks and bridge are made from hard woods such as birch.The instrument was originally a diatonic instrument and, despite the addition of chromatic strings in the 1920s, it has continued to be played as a diatonic instrument. Most contemporary concert instruments have a mechanism that allows for rapid re-tuning of the instrument into different keys. These mechanisms were first included in concert instruments in the late 1950s.
Significant contributions to bandura construction were made by Hnat Khotkevych, Leonid Haydamaka, Peter Honcharenko, Ivan Skliar, Vasyl Herasymenko and William Vetzal.
The Starosvitska or authentic traditional banduras: also sometimes referred to as classical or old-time bandura.
These instruments usually have some 20–23 strings and are handmade, with no two instruments being exactly the same. The backs are usually hewn out of a single piece of wood. Wooden pegs hold the strings, which are tuned diatonically. Traditionally, these instruments had gut strings; however, at the beginning of the 20th century common performance practice changed over to steel strings.
There has been a revival in interest in authentic performance in Ukraine, spearheaded by Heorhy Tkachenko and his followers—notably Mykola Budnyk, Kost Cheremsky, Mykola Tovkailo, Mykhilo Khai and Jurij Fedynskyj.
Several notable, present-day makers of the instrument include the late Mykola Budnyk, Mykola Tovkailo, Rusalim Kozlenko, Vasyl Boyanivsky, Jurij Fedynskyj, and Bill Vetzal.
Kyiv-style bandura
The Kyiv-style or academic bandura: these are the most common banduras in use today in Ukraine. These instruments have 55–64 metal strings tuned chromatically through five octaves, with or without re-tuning mechanisms. The instruments are known as Kyiv-style banduras because they are constructed for players of the Kyiv-style technique pioneered by the Kyiv Bandurist Capella. Because the playing style was based on the techniques of the kobzars from Chernihiv, the instrument is occasionally referred to as the Chernihiv-style bandura.
These instruments exist in two main types: 'Standard Prima' instruments and 'concert' instruments, which differ from the 'Prima' instruments in that they have a re-tuning mechanism placed in the side of the instrument.
'Concert' Kyiv-style banduras were first manufactured in Kiev at a music workshop organized by Ivan Skliar from 1948–1954 and from 1952 by the Chernihiv Musical Instrument Factory. The Chernihiv factory stopped making bandurs in 1991. Another line of Kyiv-style banduras was developed by Vasyl Herasymenko and continues to be made by the Trembita Musical Instrument Factory in Lviv. Rarer instruments also exist from the now defunct Melnytso-Podilsk.

Meet Ukraine’s Youngest Library Head: His Story Will Inspire Anyone
Dmytro Ruzhevych is 14 years old and despite his difficult diagnosis he became the youngest library director in Ukraine. An expert commission even inscribed him into the Ukrainian Book of Records. Hromadske went to Donetsk to find out how he managed to do it.
Dmytro lives in the village Sergiyivka in the Donetsk region. The population of this war zone village is about 2 thousand people. Dmytro has spinal muscular atrophy. He can only move one finger. Nevertheless, he is the youngest volunteer library director in Ukraine.
In his room, which is in fact the first open library in the village, there is a huge bookcase full of books.
