00:25:20 10 Notes
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
=======
Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 – January 13, 1864), known as the father of American music, was an American songwriter known primarily for his parlor and minstrel music. Foster wrote over 200 songs; among his best-known are Oh! Susanna, Hard Times Come Again No More, Camptown Races, Old Folks at Home (Swanee River), My Old Kentucky Home, Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, Old Black Joe, and Beautiful Dreamer. Many of his compositions remain popular more than 150 years after he wrote them. His compositions are thought to be autobiographical. He never saw the Sewanee River, never went from Alabama to Louisiana, and never lived in Kentucky. He has been identified as the most famous songwriter of the nineteenth century and may be the most recognizable American composer in other countries. His compositions are sometimes referred to as childhood songs because they have been included in the music curriculum of early education. Most of his handwritten music manuscripts are lost, but editions issued by publishers of his day can be found in various collections.
