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

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
=======
American ancestry refers to people in the United States who self-identify their ethnic origin or descent as "American", rather than the more common officially recognized racial and ethnic groups that make up the bulk of the American people.  The majority of these respondents are White Americans, who however no longer self-identify with their original ethnic ancestral origins or simply respond as a political statement. This response is attributed to a multitude of or generational distance from ancestral lineages. Although  U.S. Census data indicates "American ancestry" is commonly self-reported in the Deep South and Upland South, the vast majority of Americans and expatriates do not equate their nationality with ancestry, race or ethnicity, but with citizenship and allegiance.
