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
=======
Boron sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula B2S3.  This polymeric material that has been of interest as a component of “high-tech” glasses and as a reagent for preparing organosulfur compounds.  Like the sulfides of silicon and phosphorus, B2S3 reacts with water, including atmospheric moisture to release H2S.  Thus, samples must be handled under anhydrous conditions.
Like the boron oxides, B2S3 readily forms glasses when blended with other sulfides such as P4S10.  Such glasses absorb lower frequencies of Infra-red energy relative to conventional borosilicate glasses.
B2S3 converts ketones into the corresponding thiones.  For example, the conversion of benzophenone to its thione proceeds as follows:

B2S3 + 3 (C6H5)2C=O → B2O3 + 3 (C6H5)2C=SIn practice, B2S3 would be used in excess.
