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 Republican Party is the state affiliate of the Republican Party in Alabama. It is the dominant political party in Alabama. The state party is governed by the Alabama Republican Executive Committee.  The committee usually meets twice a year.  Composed of more than 400 members, it is likely the largest Executive Committee in the nation.  Most of the committee's members are elected in district elections across Alabama.  The district members are elected in the Republican Primary once every four years with the most recent election for the committee having been on June 5, 2018.  The new committee takes office following the General Election in November, 2018.  In addition, all 67 County GOP Chairman have automatic seats as voting members.  The State Chairman can appoint 10 members.  Each County Committee can appoint bonus members (maximum of 5 per county) based on a formula that theoretically could add 312 seats, although that formula currently calls for only about 50 seats.
The Alabama Republican Executive Committee has several important functions.  Every two years the committee elects the State Chairman, Vice Chairmen, the Secretary and the Treasurer as well as other members of a Steering Committee.  Together, they have responsibility for administering the day-to-day operations of the party.  The committee also sets election rules for the statewide Republican Primary and has oversight responsibilities for the 67 county parties. The Committee also elects The National Committeeman (currently Paul Reynolds, since 2008) and National Committeewoman (currently Vicki A. Drummond, since 2012) to serve on the Republican National Committee from Alabama.  Once every four years the committee selects the GOP slate for U.S. Presidential Electors and chooses alternate delegates to the GOP National Convention.
