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
=======
Mille Lacs National Wildlife Refuge is a 0.57 acre (2,300 m2) National Wildlife Refuge in central Minnesota.  The refuge consists solely of two small islands in Mille Lacs Lake, and is the smallest National Wildlife Refuge in the United States.  It was created on May 14, 1915 to preserve breeding habitat for several bird species.  The islands are one of only four breeding colonies of common terns, a threatened species in Minnesota.  Other native species breeding within the refuge include ring-billed and herring gulls and double-crested cormorants.
The islands can only be reached by boat.  Landing on them is officially discouraged (though not forbidden), and instead visitors are asked to conduct their birdwatching from watercraft.
Mille Lacs National Wildlife Refuge is administered from Rice Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
