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 Falkland Islands (Spanish: Islas Malvinas) have a complex history stretching over five hundred years.  Active exploration and colonisation began in the 18th century but a self-supporting colony was not established till the latter part of the 19th century.  Nonetheless, the islands have been a matter of controversy, as due to their strategic position in the 18th century their sovereignty was claimed by the French, Spaniards, British and Argentines at various points.
The strategic importance of the Falkland Islands was negated by the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914.  Nevertheless, the continued sovereignty dispute between the United Kingdom and Argentina led to the Falklands War in 1982.
