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
=======
The euglyphids are a prominent group of filose amoebae that produce shells or tests from siliceous scales, plates, and sometimes spines.  These elements are created within the cell and then assembled on its surface in a more or less regular arrangement, giving the test a textured appearance.  There is a single opening for the long slender pseudopods, which capture food and pull the cell across the substrate.
Euglyphids are common in soils, marshes, and other organic-rich environments, feeding on tiny organisms such as bacteria.  The test is generally 30-100 μm in length, although the cell only occupies part of this space.  During reproduction a second shell is formed opposite the opening, so both daughter cells remain protected.  Different genera and species are distinguished primarily by the form of the test.  Euglypha and Trinema are the most common.
The euglyphids are traditionally grouped with other amoebae.  However, genetic studies instead place them with various amoeboid and flagellate groups, forming an assemblage called the Cercozoa.  Their closest relatives are the thaumatomonads, flagellates that form similar siliceous tests.
