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
=======
Fondant icing, also commonly referred to simply as fondant (, from the French: [fɔ̃dɑ̃]  listen ), is an edible icing used to decorate or sculpt cakes and pastries. It is made from sugar, water, gelatin, butter, and glycerol. It does not have the texture of most icings; rolled fondant is akin to stiff clay, while poured fondant is a thick liquid. The word, in French, means "melting", coming from the same root as fondue and foundry. However, what the French call "fondant" is sugar glaze, which has to be applied hot on pastries like "mille-feuille", while fondant icing would be referred as "pâte à sucre", meaning "sugar dough".
