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.

George Mason Memorial Washington DC - REAL USA Ep. 123
In the first episode in our new location we visit one of the memorials of a lesser known, but very important, figure in American history. George Mason, one of the authors of the Bill of Rights, has a lovely memorial on the banks of the Potomac River. We've been here several times, and it is thus far one of my favorite places to visit and relax.

Acquired by John Gadsby in the late 18th century, this tavern was frequented by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe, and Marquis de Lafayette.

Completed in 1753, this Georgian manor was home to John Carlyle, a wealthy British merchant, friend of George Washington, and a founder of the city of Alexandria, Virginia.
Bank of Alexandria
In 1792, the Bank of Alexandria was authorized by the General Assembly of Virginia, the legislative body of the commonwealth of Virginia, making it the first financial institution authorized by the state.

Congress counted the votes and confirmed his victory on April 6th, 1789. And on the morning of April 16, 1789, Washington began the journey from his Mount Vernon home to New York City, then America's capital city. By around noon on April 16, 1789, Washington arrived in Old Town where he sat down for a (very) early dinner with the town's citizens at Wise's Tavern before continuing on his journey to New York where he would be sworn in at Federal Hall.

Washington used this home when he was in Old Town for business or social reasons and could not make it back to Mount Vernon.
Franklin and Armfield Slave Office
This building once housed the offices of Franklin & Armfield Co., America's largest slave trading firm from 1828 to 1836.
