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 common people, also known as the common man, commoners, or the masses, are the ordinary people in a community or nation who lack any significant social status, especially those who are members of neither royalty, nobility, the clergy, nor any member of the aristocracy.
Whereas historically many civilizations have institutionalized the notion of a common class within society, since the 20th century the term common people has been used in a more general sense to refer to typical members of society in contrast to the highly privileged (in either wealth or influence). In the United States, Andrew Jackson gave hope to the common man by his own example of working his way from being a poor Scots-Irish American to becoming the seventh President of the United States (1829-1837). The administration of Andrew Jackson utilized a system of choosing appointments to federal office which one contemporary congressman labeled the spoils system, thereby enabling previously unmeritorious individuals opportunities to hold office. Additionally, his presidency was marked by the common man’s  right of suffrage (which had originally been limited to property-owning or tax-paying white males) as part of his administration’s greater democracy for the common man. Economically, Jackson’s administration  fostered trade with Europe, leading to an increase in jobs for the common man in agriculture and industry.
