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
=======
Established in 1994, the Cane River Creole National Historical Park serves to preserve the resources and cultural landscapes of the Cane River region in Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana. Located along the Cane River Lake, the park is approximately 63 acres and includes two French Creole cotton plantations, Oakland and Magnolia. Both plantations are complete in their historic settings, including landscapes, outbuildings, structures, furnishings, and artifacts; and they are the most intact French Creole cotton plantations in the United States. In total, 65 historic structures and over a million artifacts enhance the National Park Service mission as it strives to tell the story of the evolution of plantation agriculture through the perspective of the land owners, enslaved workers, overseers, skilled workers, and tenant farmers who resided along the Cane River for over two hundred years. This park is included as a site on the Louisiana African American Heritage Trail.
A defining characteristic of the park is the conservation and interpretation of Creole culture. In colonial Louisiana the term Creole was used to indicate New World products derived from Old World stock, and could apply to people, architecture, or livestock. Regarding people, Creole historically referred to those born in Louisiana during the French and Spanish periods, regardless of their ethnicity. Today, as in the past, Creole transcends racial boundaries. It connects people to their colonial roots, be they descendants of European settlers, enslaved Africans, or the many of mixed heritage, which may include African, French, Spanish, and American Indian influences. The Prud'hommes of Oakland and the LeComtes of Magnolia were considered French Creole. As with others in the area, the homes and plantations of these families reflected the French Creole architectural style and way of life.
The historic landscapes and dozens of structures preserved at Oakland and Magnolia plantations are the setting for the stories of workers (enslaved and free) and late post-Civil War tenant farmers who worked the same land for over two centuries, adapting to historical, economic, social, and agricultural change. Today their descendants carry on many of their traditions.

Louisiana was a real surprise for me, of course I knew of New Orleans but what was the rest of the state like?
Natchitoches, Louisiana's oldest town, established 1714 will be 300 in 2014...amazing little city...
Although Louisiana has a history of slavery as a visitor seeing the old plantation homes, hardwood trees alive with more song birds than I've ever heard, meandering rivers and historic cities was one of the highlights of our travel. Note I say one of because there are many amazing places to discover in the USA.

Creole | Shades of U.S.
Creole can refer to more than one thing, including ethnicity, language and food. In this month's episode, a New Orleans author gives voice to Creole communities, a Haiti-born linguist fights for the Haitian Creole language, and a chef builds a following for his Haitian-Creole food. This episode is hosted by CUNY TV reporter Magalie Laguerre-Wilkinson.
(Taped: 6/06/2019)
When you take a look in the mirror, what do you see? Shades of U.S. is a series, that focuses on race and ethnicity through people’s’ journeys of self-identity. It explores multiracialism at a time when the country's population is shifting drastically. The subject's personal stories are a microcosm of the United States own struggles with racial politics.

Established in 1714, Natchitoches (Nack-a-tish) retains its European flavor through its architecture, heritage and lifestyle. At the heart of this National Historic District lies Front Street, a brick thoroughfare where wrought iron balconies, restaurants and shops face the beautiful Cane River Lake.
There are guided tours available through the National Landmark Historic District. Fort St. Jean Baptiste, a replica of the 1732 French colonial fort is open Wednesday - Sunday with an interpretation of how the French marines lived in colonial days. The historic district hosts several art galleries, a museum and more.
Chances are, the thing you’ll love most about Natchitoches (aside from the famous meat pies) is the charming 33-block Landmark district-a shopper’s paradise and a bed & breakfast lover’s dream. Natchitoches is the Bed & Breakfast Capital of Louisiana with over 35+ inns offering 125+ rooms that range from rustic to elegant town homes, many within walking distance of the historic district. Natchitoches hosts nine nationally recognized motel chains with 800+ rooms plus two locally owned inns.
Natchitoches, well known for the filming of Steel Magnolias, is also known as the “City of Lights”. The world-famous Natchitoches Christmas Festival is always held on the first Saturday in December. Events throughout the year fill out the festival calendar for a great time any time of year.
The Cane River National Heritage Area Trail includes plantations open daily along the Cane River Road including Melrose, Magnolia, the complex at Magnolia Plantation referred to as the Cane River Creole National Historical Park, and the newest National Park located at Oakland Plantation.

RED RIVER of the SOUTH - WikiVidi Documentary
The Red River, or sometimes the Red River of the South, is a major river in the southern United States of America. It was named for the red-bed country of its watershed. It is one of several rivers with that name. Although it was once a tributary of the Mississippi River, the Red River is now a tributary of the Atchafalaya River, a distributary of the Mississippi that flows separately into the Gulf of Mexico. It is connected to the Mississippi River by the Old River Control Structure. The south bank of the Red River formed part of the US–Mexico border from the Adams–Onís Treaty until the Texas Annexation and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. The Red River is the second-largest river basin in the southern Great Plains. It rises in two branches in the Texas Panhandle and flows east, where it acts as the border between the states of Texas and Oklahoma. It forms a short border between Texas and Arkansas before entering Arkansas, turning south near Fulton, Arkansas, and flowing into Louis...
