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

If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
