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.

Little sign in Havana streets of US, Cuba rapprochement

Last year December US President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro made the historic announcement that their countries were to restore diplomatic ties after a break of 53 years. Though some US restrictions are to be lifted on travels and money transfers amongst others, ordinary Cubans say they can't feel the changes so far.
