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
=======
South Korea occupies the southern portion of the Korean peninsula. The total land mass of
the country is 98,480 km2 but usable land is only 20% of the total and thus the population is
concentrated around the coast.  The Korean Peninsula is surrounded by the East, West and
South Seas, a coast-line that extends for about 2,413 km. Endowed with an abundance of fisheries
resources, Koreans have developed a distinct seafood culture with annual per capita sea food consumption of 48.1 kg in 2005.Years of capturing wild fish together with improved fishing technology have led to a continuous decrease in
capture production in South Korea in recent years, and consequently led to a greater attention to
aquaculture to meet the increasing demand for aquatic products.
Extensive aquaculture has been practiced in Korea for several hundred years, but modern intensive aquaculture (mainly for seaweed and shellfish) did not emerge until the 1960s. However, total annual aquaculture production was
less than 100,000 tonnes in this period. Aquaculture production increased
from 147,000 tonnes in 1971, reaching over 1.2 million tonnes by 2006.
