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.

Jacques-Claude Hurtubise FRSC (born March 12, 1957) is a Canadian mathematician who works as a professor of mathematics and chair of the mathematics department at McGill University. His research interests include moduli spaces, integrable systems, and Riemann surfaces. Among other contributions, he is known for proving the Atiyah–Jones conjecture.After undergraduate studies at the Université de Montréal, Hurtubise became a Rhodes Scholar at the University of Oxford for 1978–1981, and earned a Ph.D. from Oxford in 1982, supervised by Nigel Hitchin, with a dissertation concerning links between algebraic geometry and differential geometry. Following his Ph.D., he taught at the Université du Québec à Montréal until 1988, when he moved to McGill. He has also been director of the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques.Hurtubise won the Coxeter–James Prize of the Canadian Mathematical Society in 1993, and was an AMS Centennial Fellow for 1993–1994. In 2004 he became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and in 2012, he became one of the inaugural fellows of the American Mathematical Society.
