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
=======
British Airways Engineering is the aircraft maintenance subsidiary of British Airways which provides support services to British Airways and other airlines.  It is responsible for the entire BA Boeing 747-400 fleet maintenance, cabin interior conversions and general ramp maintenance work for both their own fleet and other airlines.  It also sends some of its own heavy maintenance work out to other companies, although the vast majority of aircraft and cabin interior work is still carried out by BA Engineering itself.
British Airways Engineering was formed from the merger of the engineering divisions of BOAC and BEA's when the two airlines merged in 1974 to form British Airways.  Today, British Airways Engineering has hangars at Heathrow (its base), Gatwick, Glasgow and Cardiff airports as well as hundreds of line maintenance stations (engineers located around the world to do minor 'line' maintenance such as routine daily inspections or minor repairs).  A team of about 30 engineers are still based at MAN earning revenue from a large number of third party airlines.  It also consists of the Avionic division which is based at Pontyclun, South Wales, which services the majority of the removable avionic units, and some mechanical components.
