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
=======
Basbousa (Arabic: بسبوسة‎), is a traditional Middle Eastern sweet cake. It is made from cooked semolina or farina soaked in simple syrup; coconut is also a popular option to add into this pastry.  Orange flower water or rose water is also an optional addition to the simple syrup used in the basbousa.
Shambali or Damascus honey (Turkish: Şambalı or Şam tatlısı, meaning "Damascus dessert", Greek: Σάμαλι /ˈʃamali/), is a very popular Middle Eastern semolina cake often flavoured with orange blossom water or rose syrup. Its ingredients include but are not limited to; yogurt, coarse semolina, sugar, ground almonds, lemon/orange juice and cinnamon. It is usually served with tea that does not contain sugar due to its very sweet taste. There are theories the name 'Shamali' derives from the town of Şam (located in Damascus Syria). It is more likely however that the name comes from Armenia where it is still commonly known as Shamali. Elsewhere the dessert is known as 
'Kalo Brama' in Cyprus meaning "Good thing", 'Namoura' in Lebanon, Kalbelouz (Qhalb-el-Louz), in Tunis, Revani or Ravani in Greece and Turkey (itself deriving directly from the Persian), and commonly known as Babousa/Basbousa amongst other Arabic speaking communities.
