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
=======
In chemistry, functionality is the presence of functional groups in a molecule. In organic chemistry (and other fields of chemistry) functionality of a molecule has a decisive influence on its reactivity.
In polymer chemistry the functionality of a monomer means its number of polymerizable groups, and affects the formation and the degree of crosslinking of polymers. A monofunctional molecule possesses one function, a difunctional two, a trifunctional three, etc.
