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
=======
Jose Laurel Street, also known as J.P. Laurel Street, is a tree-lined street in the district of San Miguel in north-central Manila, Philippines. It runs parallel to the Pasig River from the Nagtahan Interchange south-westwards to General Solano Street. It is where Malacañan Palace and several other government buildings are located. 
The street has had several different names throughout the years, including Calzada de San Miguel and Calzada de Malacañan, but by the 1870s, it was known as Calle Áviles. It was named after Don José Vicente de Áviles, el Conde de Áviles, who financed the extension of the street to Santa Mesa and the Sampaloc (Carriedo) Rotunda. A small plaza across Malacañan Palace was also named after Áviles. In 1959, the street was renamed to its present name in honor of a former resident of the palace and president, José Paciano Laurel.Other notable buildings along the street include Casa Roces, College of the Holy Spirit, the National Shrine of Saint Jude, the National Shrine of Saint Michael and the Archangels and the Philippine Commission on Women. Public access to Laurel Street is generally restricted for security reasons. The nearest LRT-2 station is Legarda Station.
