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
=======
Gamaliel Bradford (October 9, 1863 – April 11, 1932) was an American biographer, critic, poet, and dramatist. Born in Boston, Massachusetts, the sixth of seven men called Gamaliel Bradford in unbroken succession, of whom the first, Gamaliel Bradford, was a great-grandson of Governor William Bradford of the Plymouth Colony. His grandfather, Dr. Gamaliel Bradford of Boston, was a noted abolitionist.Bradford attended Harvard University briefly with the class of 1886, then continued his education with a private tutor, but is said to have been educated "mainly by ill-health and a vagrant imagination."  As an adult, Bradford lived in Wellesley, Massachusetts.  The building and student newspaper for the Wellesley High School (where Sylvia Plath received her secondary school education) were named after Gamaliel Bradford.  The town changed the name of the building to Wellesley High School, but the newspaper maintains Bradford's name.
In his day Bradford was regarded as the "Dean of American Biographers."  He is acknowledged as the American pioneer of the psychographic form of written biographies, after the style developed by Lytton Strachey.  Despite suffering poor health during most of his life, Bradford wrote 114 biographies over a period of 20 years.
