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 Nguyễn dynasty or House of Nguyễn (Vietnamese: Nhà Nguyễn; Hán-Nôm: 阮朝, Nguyễn triều) was the last ruling family of Vietnam. Their rule lasted for 143 years. The dynasty began in 1802, when Emperor Gia Long ascended the throne after defeating the Tây Sơn dynasty. It ended in 1945, when Emperor Bảo Đại abdicated the throne and transferred power to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. Although the nation was given the name Việt Nam (越南) by the Qing Dynasty during Gia Long's reign, it was known as Đại Việt Nam (大越南) by nations other than the Qing Dynasty. From the 19th year of Emperor Minh Mạng's reign, Đại Việt Nam was shortened to Đại Nam (大南, which means "Great South"); the abbreviation Đại Việt (大越, which means "Great Viet") was forbidden, since it was the name of several previous dynasties. The end of the dynasty was marked by the increasing influence of French colonialism, and the nation was divided into three parts: Cochinchina became a French colony, and Annam and Tonkin became nominally-independent protectorates.
