Anglikanische Gemeinschaft
Die Anglikanische Gemeinschaft oder Anglikanische Kommunion (englisch Anglican Communion; von lateinisch anglicanus ‚englisch‘), umgangssprachlich die anglikanische Kirche, ist eine weltweite christliche Kirchengemeinschaft, die in ihrer Tradition evangelische und katholische Glaubenselemente vereinigt, wobei die katholische Tradition in der Liturgie und im Sakramentsverständnis (insbesondere dem Amtsverständnis) vorherrscht und die evangelische in der Theologie.Die anglikanischen Landeskirchen sehen sich als Teile der einen, heiligen, katholischen und apostolischen Kirche, die sich der Tradition und Theologie der englischen (und zum Teil schottischen) Reformation verpflichtet haben.Jedoch versteht die anglikanische Kirche ihre „Reformation“ nicht als einen Bruch mit der vorreformatorischen Kirche, sondern als notwendige Reform der katholischen Kirche der britischen Inseln.Damit ist die anglikanische Kirche sowohl katholische Kirche als auch reformatorische Kirche, die allerdings seit der Reformation eine bewusst eigenständige christlich-anglikanische Tradition und Theologie entwickelt hat.

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
=======
Guyana (pronounced or ), officially the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, is a country on the northern mainland of South America. It is, however, often considered part of the Caribbean region because of its strong cultural, historical, and political ties with other Anglo-Caribbean countries and the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Guyana is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, Brazil to the south and southwest, Suriname to the east and Venezuela to the west. With 215,000 square kilometres (83,000 sq mi), Guyana is the third-smallest sovereign state on mainland South America after Uruguay and Suriname.
The region known as the Guianas consists of the large shield landmass north of the Amazon River and east of the Orinoco River known as the land of many waters. Originally inhabited by many indigenous groups, Guyana was settled by the Dutch before coming under British control in the late 18th century. It was governed as British Guiana, with a mostly plantation-style economy until the 1950s. It gained independence in 1966, and officially became a republic within the Commonwealth of Nations in 1970. The legacy of British rule is reflected in the country's political administration and diverse population, which includes Indian, African, Amerindian, and multiracial groups.
Guyana is the only South American nation in which English is the official language. The majority of the population, however, speak Guyanese Creole, an English-based creole language, as a first language. Guyana is part of the Anglophone Caribbean. CARICOM, of which Guyana is a member, is headquartered in Guyana's capital and largest city, Georgetown. In 2008, the country joined the Union of South American Nations as a founding member.
