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.

The Best Gym In Derby Fit4Less Long Eaton
The Best Gym In Derby: Fit4Less Long Eaton is well worth a visit:
Long Eaton is a town in Derbyshire, England. It lies just north of the River Trent about 7 miles (11 km) southwest of Nottingham and is part of the Nottingham Urban Area (the conurbation around Nottingham) but not part of the City of Nottingham. Since 1 April 1974, Long Eaton has been part of Erewash borough.
The Best Gym In Derby: Fit4Less Long Eaton is well worth a visit:
Long Eaton is referred to as Aitone, in the Domesday Book. Several meanings are associated with this name, for example farm between streams or low lying land. This agricultural settlement grew up close to the lowest bridging point of the River Erewash.
In 1228 the village gained the Long prefix due to its length. The cottages and farms straggled along the Market Place, High Street and Main Street.
The Great Fire of Long Eaton ripped through 14 houses and several other building in the Market Place destroying them in 1694.[1]
The village remained a constant size until the coming of the railways in the nineteenth century. The Midland Counties Railway in 1839 and the Erewash Valley Line in 1844 provided transport links which encouraged growth. Two industries came to employ many people in the growing town, lace-making and railway wagon manufacturing. A large railway yard at Toton Sidings grew just north of the town.
By 1900 the town had grown to have a population of over 10,000. It had expanded with the construction of many new houses, business premises and factories throughout the Victorian period. In 1921 Long Eaton's boundaries were extended bringing Wilsthorpe and parts of both Sandiacre and Sawley into the town.
Long Eaton is in the County of Derbyshire on the border with Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. Most residences have a Nottingham address with the Nottingham postcode prefix NG, and use the Nottingham telephone area code 0115.
It is a common misconception that Long Eaton is part of Nottinghamshire.[4] The reason for the NG prefix in the postal code is that all mail for Long Eaton first goes to Royal Mail's Nottingham sorting office in Beeston (hence the 'NG'), and then to Long Eaton's delivery office on Tamworth Road.
Many border towns like Long Eaton have crossover postcodes. A few miles South of Long Eaton is a town called Castle Donington - it is in Leicestershire but has a DE74 postcode for Derby. Another example would be Worksop; it has a S80/S81 postcode which is used for Sheffield in South Yorkshire, but the town itself is in Nottinghamshire.[5]
The Local Government Commission for England (1958 - 1967) recommended that Long Eaton became part of an enlarged Nottingham City Council. This was not the only time Long Eaton's status in Derbyshire was threatened as the original draft of the Local Government Act 1972 had considered moving Long Eaton into Nottinghamshire. The Redcliffe-Maud Report proposals of 1969 also recommended the town be moved into Nottinghamshire but the incoming Conservative administration rejected the proposal. This issue has rumbled on over many years.
Schools[edit]
Long Eaton has two state secondary schools, The Long Eaton School and Wilsthorpe Community School as well as several primary schools. It is also home to the public school Trent College, with the Elms School for children from 3-11.
The Long Eaton School was split into two separate sites. One known as 'Lower' for years 7, 8 and 9, and one known as 'Upper' for years 10, 11 and Sixth Form. Lower school (opened in 1965) was demolished in 2006, after a new school was built next door on the same grounds. Both upper and lower sections of the school are now in one building. Previously, the sections were separated by the Erewash Canal. In 2005 Wilsthorpe School gained specialist status in business and enterprise. The Long Eaton School has also gained specialist status in science and has received the permanent eco-flag. The Long Eaton School was recently rebuilt, and was opened by Gordon Brown when he was Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Long Eaton School is partnered with many international schools and has frequent visits form international students. The School has also recently gained academy status and thus has had a telescope built on school grounds. The school has also undergone many changes within the school and school life.[citation needed]

Nottingham- Theatre Royal
The Theatre Royal was completed in 1865, after six months of work and costing the clients, lace manufacturers John and William Lambert £15,000. The Classic facade and Corinthian columns designed by Charles J. Phipps are still a major Nottingham landmark.
The Theatre Royal opened on Monday, 25 September 1865 with Sheridan's The School for Scandal.
Baroness Orczy's The Scarlet Pimpernel (1903) was first produced at the Theatre Royal by Fred Terry and Julia Neilson before being published as a novel. Although initially the play was met with little success, the novel is credited with influencing the mystery genre and arguably creating the masked hero genre.
On October 6, 1952, the theatre made history with the world premiere of The Mousetrap (as part of a pre-West End tour). The play has gone on to be the longest-running theatrical production in the world.
In 1969 the city council bought the theatre and began restoring it, re-opening it in 1978. It was in need of restoration and had earned a reputation as one of the worst theatres for backstage conditions in the country.

New Course for Adults - Academy Of Stupidity
The Academy Of Stupidity is a course for adults in comic performance, physical theatre, play, improvisation, spontaneity, eccentric performance, the theatrical fool and contemporary clowning.
How does it work?
The course runs over four months - totaling 56 hours of tuition and is broken up in to four sections - each section is made up of the following:
Evening sessions
Three evening sessions lasting two and a half hours, these sessions will run once a week. In these sessions we'll focus on developing performance skills.
Weekend sessions
The final session of each block is a one-day weekend workshop. The workshop will take place on a Sunday. In these sessions we'll have the time to expand and build upon the skills explored in the evening sessions - thus creating a deeper understanding based on practical experience.
Section one: This section will focus on play, simplicity, openness, complicity, body awareness/the expressive body and physical storytelling. We'll also develop a playful approach to working with voice, text and narrative. This section will explore how we can develop and build upon the creative possibilities that reveal themselves to us when we play with the above themes.
Section two: The second section will apply the skills and playfulness developed in the first section - utilizing them as a foundation to explore the following performance styles: the theatrical fool, eccentric performance, physical comedy, contemporary clowning, tragedy/comedy via the tragic and simple fool. This section will look at turning the real world on its head and finding pleasure and humor in the simplest of tasks.
Section three: This section will begin with an exploration of the neutral state - from a place of openness and presence we'll look at economy and clarity in performance. We'll then move on to explore the bouffon (the bouffon is a counter point to the work on eccentric performance and contemporary clowning). The bouffon will allow us to explore performance at its most grotesque and exaggerated.
Finally, we will use the journey from neutral to bouffon to allow us to create our own unique comic characters - utilizing physical storytelling, creating monologues and comic scenes.
Section four: In the final section we will pull all our learning together to devise comic performance - this can be done individually, in small groups or as part of the whole group, it's totally up to you. There will be an opportunity to perform your work in an informal sharing of the pieces created.
Course hours & fees
The course totals 56 hours, this works out at £6.60 per hour - which is an utter bargain. It is very difficult to access this type of performer training outside of London. The course is for adults and is open to anyone regardless of experience.
Your investment: £370.00 for the full course - payable in two installments of £185.00. The first payment to be made no later than December 20 2013 - the second payment to be made no later than 30 Jan 2014.
Places will be limited to 15 and will be filled on a first come first served basis. Participants are advised to book as far ahead as possible to avoid disappointment.
Venue: Rama Actors Studio, 1 Kays Walk, The Lace Market, Nottingham, NG1 1PY
I am delighted to be running the course at Rama Actors Studio -- it's a wonderfully creative space tucked away in the Lace Market.
