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 internal conflict in Peru is an ongoing armed conflict between the Government of Peru, the Communist Party of Peru (better known as Shining Path or "PCP-SL"), and the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement. The conflict began on May 17, 1980. Estimates indicate that there have been nearly 70,000 deaths, making it the bloodiest war in Peruvian history since the European colonization of the country. 
The high death toll includes many civilian casualties resulting from deliberate targeting by many factions. Recently, however, the conflict has become dormant as the number of deaths dropped significantly since the year 2000. There were low-level resurgences of violence in 2002 and 2014 when conflict erupted between the Peruvian Army and guerrilla remnants in the VRAEM region. The conflict has lasted for over 38 years, making it the second longest internal conflict in the history of Latin America, after the Colombian armed conflict.
