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
=======
Cardiff (Welsh: Caerdydd [kairˈdiːð, kɑːɨrˈdɨːð] (listen)) is the capital of Wales, and its largest city. The eleventh-largest city in the United Kingdom, it is Wales's chief commercial centre, the base for most national cultural institutions and Welsh media, and the seat of the National Assembly for Wales. At the 2011 census, the unitary authority area population was estimated to be 346,090, and the wider urban area 479,000. Cardiff is a significant tourist centre and the most popular visitor destination in Wales with 21.3 million visitors in 2017. In 2011, Cardiff was ranked sixth in the world in National Geographic's alternative tourist destinations.Cardiff is the county town of the historic county of Glamorgan (and later South Glamorgan). Cardiff is part of the Eurocities network of the largest European cities. A small town until the early 19th century, its prominence as a major port for the transport of coal following the arrival of industry in the region contributed to its rise as a major city. In 1905, Cardiff was made a city and proclaimed the capital of Wales in 1955. At the 2011 Census the population was 346,090. The Cardiff Built-up Area covers a slightly larger area outside the county boundary and includes the towns of Dinas Powys and Penarth.
Since the 1980s, Cardiff has seen significant development. A new waterfront area at Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building, home to the Welsh Assembly and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Current developments include the continuation of the redevelopment of the Cardiff Bay and city centre areas with projects such as the Cardiff International Sports Village, a BBC drama village, and a new business district in the city centre.
Sporting venues in the city include the Principality Stadium—the national stadium and the home of the Wales national rugby union team—Sophia Gardens (the home of Glamorgan County Cricket Club), Cardiff City Stadium (the home of Cardiff City football team and the Wales football team), Cardiff International Sports Stadium (the home of Cardiff Amateur Athletic Club), Cardiff Arms Park (the home of Cardiff Blues and Cardiff RFC rugby union teams) and Ice Arena Wales (the home of Cardiff Devils ice hockey team). The city hosted the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. The city was awarded the title of European City of Sport twice, due to its role in hosting major international sporting events: first in 2009 and again in 2014. The Principality Stadium hosted 11 football matches as part of the 2012 Summer Olympics, including the games' opening event and the men's bronze medal match.

Community Clear Up Day in Tiverton
VOLUNTEERS gave up their Saturday morning to help give Tiverton a spring clean.
The litter pick was organised as part of a nationwide Community Clear Up Day on Saturday, 22 March.
Around 20 members of Tiverton Volunteer Litter Pickers (TVLP) joined members of the community including town and district councillors.
The area covered by the pick was centered around the Exe Valley Leisure Centre with Kennedy Way, Bolham Road and Park Hill nearby.
Chairman of the TVLP, Douglas Rice, said: “This is a much used area, we have a school, college, park and of course the leisure centre itself.
“There is always a need to try and keep this area tidy because it is a major leisure area. We hope that we are making a serious contribution to improve the appearance of the town here.”
Mr Rice said that although the council’s employees do a good job in the town, they are always on the lookout for new people to join them: “There is always a need for more,” he added.
“We do make a serious contribution but I hope that when people see us doing this, they are determined to be careful about throwing things down, because obviously, what’s important to us is preventing litter in the first place.”
Community Clear Up Day was championed by the Mayor of Tiverton, Councillor Sue Griggs who helped organise the morning’s litter pick.
Cllr Griggs said: “We have collected a shed load of rubbish in the hour we have been out collecting.
“It’s sad that there is so much litter about. I expect people will turn around and say there aren’t enough litter bins, but nevertheless, there are litter bins about.
“If you can’t find them take your litter home or find somewhere for you to put your rubbish, don’t just drop it on the floor.”
Sue added that she would like to see more civic pride put back into the town: “It’s only a small minority of people who are spoiling it and making the place a mess. It’s just not on.
“We have to rely on a lot of people, who do good work in this town and across the country, and these people need supporting by the people who don’t make any effort at all – it’s a shocking state of affairs really.”
The TVLP are currently planning to work in conjunction with other community groups in the town. Douglas Rice added: “We could extend it beyond litter picking and think about other environmental issues.
“Getting to know about plastics and the use of packing materials by retailers and seeing what can be done to help sort out some very severe problems.”
