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
=======
Coffee varieties are the diverse subspecies derived through selective breeding or natural selection of coffee plants.  While there is tremendous variability encountered in both wild and cultivated coffee plants, there are a few varieties and cultivars that are commercially important due to various unique and inherent traits such as disease resistance and fruit yield.   These unique traits are what producers use to select breeds when developing crops.  Therefore, at a micro level, breed selection is critical to the success of a producer and is one of the key components of cup quality.At a macro level, the viability of the coffee industry as a whole is dependent upon breed selection.  Already, the majority of coffee produced originates from producers using selected breeds.  For this reason, breed selection is an important aspect of sustainability within coffee production.
