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
=======
Pickled herring (Estonian: marineeritud heeringas, Latvian: marinēta siļķe, Lithuanian: marinuota silkė, Swedish: inlagd sill, Danish: spegesild, Norwegian: sursild, Finnish: silli, Dutch: zure haring, German: Bismarckhering, Czech: zavináč, Russian: маринованная селёдка, Polish: śledzie w occie) is a traditional way of preserving herring.
Most cured herring uses a two-step curing process. Initially herring is cured with salt to extract water. The second stage involves removing the salt and adding the herring to a brine - typically a vinegar, salt, sugar solution - to which ingredients such as peppercorn, bay leaves and raw onions are added. Additional flavourings may also be used, including sherry, mustard and dill, while other non-traditional ingredients have also begun being included in recent years.
Pickled herring remains a popular food and/or ingredient to dishes in many parts of Europe including Scandinavia, the Baltic, Eastern and Central Europe, as well as the Netherlands. It is also associated with Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine, becoming a staple at Kiddushes and social gatherings. Pickled herring is one of the twelve dishes traditionally served at Christmas Eve in Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine.
