True! Hearing is something that is done without you realizing it. It is a natural sense that humans have. But listening requires focus and attention. You can be hearing what your teacher is saying, but not really understanding and listening to the words. Listening means you are collecting the information, and you should be able to remember it later. :)
The term literal meaning means that all words are in strict accordance with their original meanings. In other words, to apply the literal meaning is to take the words in their most basic sense without metaphor or exaggeration.
