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
=======
Many games have been independently developed for the Dreamcast by homebrew developers. Most of these games were commercially released long after the end of the console's official life span (2001), and especially after the last official release (2007). Consequently, these homebrew games are unlicensed by Sega.
The Dreamcast's homebrew games are written on regular compact discs (CD) using the Mil-CD loop hole rather than GD-ROMs. This is partly because the GD-ROM format is no longer marketed by Sega, nor did it ever have a commercially available blank counterpart. Games are released on standard CD or DVD covers, or more recently, styled as a retail Dreamcast title. All are region-free. Some of the earlier homebrew games have been developed using the BSD-based KallistiOS development library.
The games are various - some have Genesis-style 16-bit graphics, whereas others look more like Dreamcast-era games. The 16-bit games usually have also been released as homebrew for the Neo Geo AES console, and others may also have had releases for PC, mobile, or as downloadable indie titles for newer consoles. The first homebrew games in 2001 were three emulated and enhanced PlayStation games developed by Bleemcast!.
Unlike homebrew communities for other consoles, the Dreamcast homebrew developers are organized in development teams, such as RedSpotGames.There has recently been an increasing number of games being developed. Just over half of the list of 40+ homebrew titles are games released since 2015 or still under development. 2015 had the highest number of new Dreamcast releases since 2004 in Japan.
