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 Khitan small script was one of two Khitan writing systems used for the now-extinct Khitan language.  It was used during the 10th–12th century by the Khitan people, who had created the Liao Empire in north-eastern China.  In addition to the small script, the Khitans simultaneously also used a functionally independent writing system known as the Khitan large script.  Both Khitan scripts continued to be in use to some extent by the Jurchens for several decades after the fall of the Liao Dynasty, until the Jurchens fully switched to a script of their own.  Examples of the scripts appeared most often on epitaphs and monuments, although other fragments sometimes surface.
