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 Chemins de Fer de l'État was one of the five main constituents of the Société Nationale des Chemins de fer Français (SNCF) at its creation in 1938.
It was formed in May 1878 from the merger of ten railway companies, not all of which had opened. In its initial renumbering of constituents' stock, the État renumbered its tender locomotives in the 2000 or 3000 block depending on the number of driving axles, and tank locomotives in 0200 and 0300 blocks. This scheme had to be abandoned in 1909 when the État bought the Chemins de Fer de l'Ouest in that year; as the enlarged État had by then too many tank locomotives for that scheme.
