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
=======
Metro is the United Kingdom's highest circulation newspaper,  published in tabloid format by DMG Media. The free newspaper is distributed from Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays) mornings on trains, buses, stations, airports and hospitals across urban areas of England, Wales and Scotland. Distributors have also been employed to hand out copies to pedestrians.
Metro is owned by DMGT, part of the same media group as the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, although in some areas Metro operates as a franchise with a local newspaper publisher, rather than as a wholly owned concern.
While being a sister paper to the conservative Mail, the newspaper has never endorsed any political party or candidate, and claims to take a neutral political stance in its reporting.
