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
=======
Veronique is a French liquid-fuelled sounding rocket that was partly developed by German scientists who had worked in Peenemünde.
Based on the German V-2 rocket, Véronique was the first West European liquid-fuel research rocket. A successor to the cancelled Super V-2, the Véronique was built between 1950 and 1969 in several versions, of which the versions P2, P6 and R were only experimental models. They were made in Vernon, Eure. The name Veronique is an abbreviation of Vernon-électronique.The first Véronique launch, on 20 February 1954, resulted in a launch failure, followed by a second launch a day later, on 21 February reaching 84 miles (135 km) in altitude with diesel oil and nitric acid as fuel. The second used turpentine instead of diesel oil, gaining 50% higher altitude.
