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
=======
Salem is the capital of the U.S. state of Oregon, and the county seat of Marion County. It is located in the center of the Willamette Valley alongside the Willamette River, which runs north through the city. The river forms the boundary between Marion and Polk counties, and the city neighborhood of West Salem is in Polk County. Salem was founded in 1842, became the capital of the Oregon Territory in 1851, and was incorporated in 1857.
Salem had a population of 154,637 at the 2010 census, making it the third largest city in the state after Portland and Eugene. Salem is a little more than an hour's driving distance away from Portland. Salem is the principal city of the Salem Metropolitan Statistical Area, a metropolitan area that covers Marion and Polk counties and had a combined population of 390,738 at the 2010 census. A 2013 estimate placed the metropolitan population at 400,408, the state's second largest.The city is home to Willamette University, Corban University, and Chemeketa Community College. The State of Oregon is the largest public employer in the city, and Salem Health is the largest private employer. Transportation includes public transit from Salem-Keizer Transit (which operates under the name Cherriots), Amtrak service and non-commercial air travel at McNary Field. Major roads include Interstate 5, Oregon Route 99E, and Oregon Route 22, which connects West Salem across the Willamette River via the Marion Street and Center Street bridges.

Oregon
This state has dramatic landscapes including the deepest lake in the U.S., is the only state with an official nut, and is NOT the rainiest, wettest place in America. Learn more from this video in which Nathan Cooper, Assistant Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Mission to International Organizations in Vienna, introduces his home state: Oregon. #50states #OR
Transcript:
Hello! My name is Nathan Cooper, I work at the U.S. Mission to International Organizations in Vienna, and I come from the beautiful state of Oregon. It's a state with majestic natural resources and a fiercely independent character.
Before I talk a bit more extensively about the state's history and culture, let me quickly dispel three common misconceptions about my home state: First, many people often guess Oregon is somewhere in the middle of the country. Actually, Oregon is on the West Coast of the United States, just above California.
Second, although you may have heard it called Or-ee-GONE, locals pronounce it ORE-gun.
And last, contrary to what weather maps often depict, Oregon is not the wettest, rainiest place in America (that's actually in Hawaii).
Oregon is perhaps most famous for its dramatic and diverse landscape. Its rugged coastline contains sprawling beaches and a fascinating array of marine life, including noisy sea lions and vibrant tide pools.
The Western half of the state is dominated by the volcanic Cascade mountain range. There you'll find famous peaks like Mt. Hood, dense evergreen forests and rushing rivers. The western Willamette Valley is also home to the state's two largescities, Portland and Eugene, as well as a world-class winemaking region. And a vashigh-elevation desert covers the eastern half of the state.
Southern Oregon's Crater Lake is the deepest lake in the US. It was formed by a collapsed volcano in the Cascades. These kinds of natural resources have attracted explorers and adventurers to Oregon since its earliest days.
Archeologists have found evidence of human settlements in what is now know as Oregon dating back at least 15,000 years. Large numbers of Native American groups, including the Umpqua, Molalla, Klamath, and Chinook called area home in the 1500s when Spanish explorers first encountered the Oregon coast in 1543.
Centuries later, President Thomas Jefferson commissioned explorers Lewis and Clark to cross the continent in search of a commercial route for trade with Asia. In 1806 they reached what is now known as Oregon. Lewis and Clark's successful continental crossing lead to Oregon joining the Union in 1859. They're still considered Oregon's forefathers.
OK, that's probably enough of a history lesson. Now for a bit of trivia: In no particular order, here are a few other things you might find surprising about Oregon: It's the only state with an official nut—the hazelnut, which is also sometimes called a filbert. It's the home of Nike. The global capital of wind surfing is Hood River, Oregon, on the banks of the Columba River. Oregon has more ghost towns than anywhere else in the former Wild West. Oregon also has some strangely-named communities. My favorites include the towns of Weed, Drain, Nimrod, and Boring. Oregon is physically the 7th largest American state, but ranks only 29 in terms of population.
Politically, Oregon is both extremely independent and strongly polarized. Oregonians
pioneered direct legislation by the state's citizens through ballot initiatives and referenda,
a system now used throughout the nation. This democratic device allowed Oregonians
to go against the national grain with policies like banning self-pumping at gas stations
and doing away with sales taxes. Oregon's independent streak comes through clearly in
the state's motto: She flies with her own wings.
Consensus among citizens in Oregon is hard to come by, as recent studies have shown
Oregonians to represent some of the most extremely liberal and conservative voters in
the nation.
Although Oregonians are generally a pretty low-key bunch, more than a few famous
people have come from state, including President Herbert Hoover; the actors Sally
Struthers, Kim Novak, and Ginger Rogers; the track star Steve Prefontaine; and the
writers Ken Kesey and Raymond Carver.
To find out more about the state, including information about its economic base, please
visit Oregon.gov. I hope you've enjoyed this quick introduction to the Beaver State, and
hope you'll have the chance to visit it one day.
