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

- 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
=======
In South-East Asian cuisine, "mok", "amok" or "ho mok" refers to the process of steam cooking a curry in banana leaves, or to the resulting dish. Thick coconut cream and galangal are classic ingredients, added to a wide range of possible kinds of leaves and staple ingredients. Amok is a major national culinary tradition in Cambodia, and also popular in Laos and Thailand. The Thai version uses the same Thai curry paste as red curry. Amok is thick soup cooked with fish, meat, vegetables,eggs and coconut milk. It is a common dish served at restaurants. The most common types of amok are made with fish, beef, or chicken as the main proteins. Amok can also be eaten with rice.The base dish or process is locally referred to as:

ห่อหมก  [hɔ̀ː mòk] in Thai
ຫມົກ [mók] in Lao
អាម៉ុក   [aː mok] in KhmerIn Thailand, the dish consists of a base described variously as a soufflé, custard, or mousse made from a protein (fish, chicken, or insect), vegetable or fruit and curry spices that is traditionally served in a banana leaf.  Coconut milk may or may not be added to the custard to help thicken it, depending on region. Homok is associated with marriage because the Thai people believe that the marriage of ingredients within the homok is representative of the love of a married couple.A wide variety of ingredients can be used to prepare amok dishes. The main ingredient will usually give its name to the dish:
