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
=======
The Alabama Legislature is the legislative branch of the state government of Alabama. It is a bicameral body composed of the Alabama House of Representatives, with 105 members, and the Alabama Senate, with 35 members.  It is one of the few state legislatures in which members of both chambers serve four year terms and in which all are elected in the same cycle.  The most recent election was on November 6, 2018.  The new legislature assumes office immediately following the certification of the election results by the Alabama Secretary of State which occurs within a few days following the election.  The Alabama Legislature is currently dominated by Republicans. The House of Representatives has 77 Republicans and 28 Democrats.  The Senate is also dominated by the GOP who hold 28 of 35 seats; the remainder are held by Democrats.-- 
The Legislature meets in the Alabama State House in Montgomery. The original capitol building, located nearby, has not been used by the Legislature on a regular basis since 1985, when it closed for renovations. In the 21st century, it serves as the seat of the executive branch as well as a museum.
