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
=======
Chino Roces Avenue, formerly known as (and still commonly referred to as) Pasong Tamo, is a prominent north-south road in the cities of Makati and Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines It runs for approximately 5.8 kilometers (3.6 miles) from Olympia and Tejeros to Fort Bonifacio. The avenue is named for Joaquin "Chino" Roces, journalist and founder of The Manila Times and ABC (now TV5).The northern end of Chino Roces is at the intersection with J.P. Rizal Avenue. It heads southwesterly across the residential and commercial barangays of Olympia, Tejeros, Santa Cruz and La Paz. After the intersection with Bagtikan Street in San Antonio, Chino Roces bends to the south, becoming more commercial as it approaches Gil Puyat Avenue. The road continues southwards through the western limits of the Makati Central Business District, bending slightly southwesterly between Rufino and Don Bosco streets. The avenue then becomes mixed commercial and industrial as it continues on a straight route to EDSA.
South of EDSA via a narrow channel under the Magallanes Interchange,  Chino Roces serves as a frontage road to South Luzon Expressway. It is lined with light industries and car dealerships on both sides, as well as a few factory outlets. The road ends at Lawton Avenue within Fort Bonifacio. Chino Roces has a short extension from J.P. Rizal Avenue into Carmona and Circuit Makati (former Santa Ana Race Track) known as Aurelio Reyes Avenue. The part of Chino Roces from Rufino Street to Arnaiz Avenue is home to several Japanese restaurants and shops earning it the nickname "Little Tokyo".
