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 city spans 446.04 square kilometres (172.22 sq mi) and is North America's easternmost city.Its name has been attributed to the Nativity of John the Baptist, when John Cabot was believed to have sailed into the harbour in 1497 and to a Basque fishing town with the same name. Existing on maps as early as 1519, it is the oldest city in North America. It was officially incorporated as a city in 1888. With a metropolitan population of approximately 219,207 (as of July 1, 2017), the St. John's Metropolitan Area is Canada's 20th largest metropolitan area and the second largest Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) in Atlantic Canada, after Halifax.The city has a rich history, having played a role in the French and Indian War, the American Revolutionary War, and the War of 1812.

Summertime and Black Orpheus Improvisation Dan Rubin Eren Bayazitoglu
DAN RUBIN is a Canadian recording artist and performer, well known on the West Coast and in Atlantic Canada for his passionate, quirky songs and evocative instrumental compositions, which have been released on seven different albums. He is a composer, arranger and producer who plays a variety of stringed instruments. He has been performing since the early 1970s and has toured and recorded regionally and internationally with a variety of interesting musical groups, including Amazing Grease, the Spaghetti Island Stringband, Flying Mountain, Rubin Dan and the Giant Clams, New Earth, Atlantic Union, Mandomania and Night Kitchen.
Hailing from the warm coast of the Mediterranean, Eren was born with a musical gift not even his parents possess. Refusing to eat his dinner without the accompaniment of a radio, he grew up under the hands of various international music instructors including Ricardo Moyano, Carlo Domeniconi, Marco Socias, Mehmet Gurgun, and various Spanish flamenco locals.
His fingers are buried into a big bowl of soup with jazz, rock, and classical, with generous amounts of spanish sprinkled on top. Through deep connection with the notes and rhythm, and despite some seriously stubby fingers, he defied the odds and found his own way in music, earning himself 5 MusicNL nominations with his band Evry7th, since 2011. His music, talent, and skills have been compared to The Gypsy Kings, Jesse Cook, Ottmar Leibert, and Luna Negra.
Having spent what seems to be a lifetime in music industry, Eren launched his music entertainment business-Music Is You-in early 2012. With a list of respectable clients under his belt such as Memorial University of Newfoundland, Faculty of Business Administration, Bally Haly Country Club, and Second Cup, Eren offers unique live music entertainment for events that require special ambiances, including weddings, corporate events, and private parties.
