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
=======
Landsbókasafn Íslands – Háskólabókasafn (English: The National and University Library of Iceland) is the national library of Iceland which also functions as the university library of the University of Iceland. The library was established on December 1, 1994 in Reykjavík, Iceland, with the merger of the former national library, Landsbókasafn Íslands (est. 1818), and the university library (formally est. 1940). It is by far the largest library in Iceland with about one million items in various collections. The library's largest collection is the national collection containing almost all written works published in Iceland and items related to Iceland published elsewhere. The library is the main legal deposit library in Iceland. The library also has a large manuscript collection with mostly early modern and modern manuscripts, and a collection of published Icelandic music and other audio (legal deposit since 1977). The library houses the largest academic collection in Iceland, most of which can be borrowed for off-site use by holders of library cards. University students get library cards for free, but anyone can acquire a card for a small fee. The library is open for public access.
The library main building is called Þjóðarbókhlaðan. It is a prominent 13,000-square-metre (140,000 sq ft) red and white building near the main campus of the University of Iceland and the National Museum of Iceland. The building took 16 years to complete, finally opening in 1994, the year of the Icelandic republic's 50th anniversary.

Tag: Autumn in... Reykjavík, Iceland
Who doesn't love fall? Well, I know I do, and I would love to see fall pictures/videos from other cities and countries.
So I am starting a tag: Autumn in... (the city's name here) I really hope that it will be a lot of fun ;)
This fall video is from Reykjavík, Iceland, the western part of the city. The big red building is the National Library, and the big white one is a hotel. The smaller buildings in the end are owned by the University. You might get another video from down town, too.
Please film a short fall video and leave it as a video response to this one, I can't wait to see if any videos turn up!
P.S. This is my first upload on YouTube - please excuse my not-so-good filming skills! Also, if this tag is already going around somewhere, then I don't know, and I'm not trying to steal it.
