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 Kannada people known as the Kannadigas and Kannadigaru are a Dravidian ethnic group who speak Kannada as their mother tongue and trace their ancestry to the Indian state of Karnataka. Significant Kannada minorities are found in the Indian states of Maharashtra mainly in Pune, Kolhapur and Solapur, Tamil Nadu mainly in Coimbatore and Ooty, Andhra Pradesh mainly in Hyderabad ,Ananthpur and Chitoor,and Goa and in other Indian states. The English plural is Kannadigas. After a millennium of disintegration from Old Kannada into various languages, sister languages and Kannada dialects, modern Kannada stands among 30 most widely spoken languages of the world as of 2001.
