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
=======
Black adzuki beans are adzuki beans (Vigna angularis) that are black.In Korean, they are called geomeunpat (검은팥; "black adzuki beans"), geomjeongpat (검정팥; "black adzuki beans"), heukdu (흑두; 黑豆; "black beans"), or heuksodu (흑소두; 黑小豆; "black small beans"). Gugeupbang eonhae, a 1466 medical book, mentions it using the name geomeunpɑt (거믄).It has thinner skin compared to regular (red) adzuki beans, thus it is often husked prior to cooking, which gave this cultivar the name geopipat (거피팥; "dehulled adzuki beans"). White adzuki bean powder and white adzuki bean paste made from husked black adzuki beans are called geopipat-gomul and geopipat-so respectively and are used in Korean rice cakes and confections.Confusingly, the Japanese Okinawan kuroazuki (黒小豆; "black adzuki beans") are not adzuki beans, but black cowpea (Vigna unguiculata).
