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
=======
Sōmen (Japanese: 素麺), somyeon (Korean: 소면), or sùmiàn (simplified Chinese: 素面; traditional Chinese: 素麵) are very thin noodles made of wheat flour, less than 1.3 mm in diameter. It is used extensively throughout East Asian cuisines. The most common example is Japanese somen and the noodles are usually served cold with soy sauce and dashi dipping sauce, similar to mori-soba (盛り蕎麦) noodles style. There are no academic study nor evidence of where the somen originally invented. The difference between somen and another thin Japanese noodles hiyamugi (冷麦) are, hiyamugi is sliced by a knife to make them thin noodles but somen noodles are thinned by stretching the dough. The dough is stretched with the help of vegetable oil to make very thin strips and then air dried. When served warm in soup, usually in winter, they are called nyumen (煮麺) in Japanese.
