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:

- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
Birmingham ( (listen), locally also: ) is the second-most populous city in the United Kingdom, after London, and the most populous city in the English Midlands. It is also the most populous metropolitan district in the United Kingdom, with an estimated 1,137,123 inhabitants, and is considered the social, cultural, financial, and commercial centre of the Midlands. It is the main local government of the West Midlands conurbation, which is the third most populated urban area in the United Kingdom, with a population of 2,897,303 in 2017. The wider Birmingham metropolitan area is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a population of over 4.3 million. It is frequently referred to as the United Kingdom's second city.A market town in the medieval period, Birmingham grew in the 18th-century Midlands Enlightenment and subsequent Industrial Revolution, which saw advances in science, technology, and economic development, producing a series of innovations that laid many of the foundations of modern industrial society. By 1791 it was being hailed as the first manufacturing town in the world. Birmingham's distinctive economic profile, with thousands of small workshops practising a wide variety of specialised and highly skilled trades, encouraged exceptional levels of creativity and innovation and provided an economic base for prosperity that was to last into the final quarter of the 20th century. The Watt steam engine was invented in Birmingham.The resulting high level of social mobility also fostered a culture of political radicalism which, under leaders from Thomas Attwood to Joseph Chamberlain, was to give it a political influence unparalleled in Britain outside London, and a pivotal role in the development of British democracy. From the summer of 1940 to the spring of 1943, Birmingham was bombed heavily by the German Luftwaffe in what is known as the Birmingham Blitz. The damage done to the city's infrastructure, in addition to a deliberate policy of demolition and new building by planners, led to extensive urban regeneration in subsequent decades.
Birmingham's economy is now dominated by the service sector. The city is a major international commercial centre, ranked as a beta- world city by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network the joint highest ranking with Edinburgh and Manchester of all British cities outside of London; and an important transport, retail, events and conference hub. Its metropolitan economy is the second largest in the United Kingdom with a GDP of $121.1bn (2014), and its six universities make it the largest centre of higher educat ...

!Christmas Special! - Day In Derbyshire with HTMAMR38 & IC24 (Preview)
The final trip of 2014 is here. The preview anyway. So on a cold, extremely foggy morning we set out on a trip to Derbyshire. Arriving at the tram stop i found there was a full network failure due to the ice on the pantographs and overhead cables so I ran to catch a bus. Arriving at the Bus station after a short 3 mile ride on my alternative route I ran the 1/2 mile to the train station. On arrival I found out the next train was not for half an hour, its a good thing I left early. Finally I arrived safely at Manchester Piccadilly to meet Intercity24 for our trip to Sheffield. As we passed Hope and Edale we went above the fog and a strange mist was below us yet above not a cloud in the sky. At sheffield we met HTMAMR38 and did some filming before boarding the Class 222 and going to Chesterfield. At Chesterfield we took a walk to an excellent vantage point where we filmed lots of trains including rare TATA Steel Class 60 and more... Now arriving at Chesterfield station we boarded the XC HST and window hanged all the way to Derby, only in and out of the stations and at slow speeds as 100MPH is a bit fast for having your head out the window. Derby also was a great success with a delicious dinner of BEEF! We then headed back to Sheffield on the same train we left on all those hours ago and went our seperate ways. Me and IC24s train was running 'On Time' but a pair of XC 220s which were delayed by 2 hours left for Penzance in the direction of Doncaster! They then had to make their way back and that caused our train to be delayed by a final arrival of 21 mins.
That was it for the journey. Full video coming soon. Please leave a LIKE if you enjoyed and SUBSCRIBE if you are new!

Hey guys, it's Gypsy from the State Truck NYC, we're going to talk a little bit on how to start roller skating. If you've never skated before, the best thing to do would be to find out your local skating rink, or a company like the State Truck NYC, learn how to roller skate from experts because it's so much easier in the end. Once you figure out that you do want to start to roller skate, you just need to either rent skates, buy skates, decide if you want to roller skate, inline skate, and then go to the basic classes.
So beginning roller skate, again, start off with T position, keeping your balance right underneath you, it's real important not to let your feet get too far apart, because that's when bad things happen. So always pull it in, keep your core tight, and try to take small steps and small corrections. A lot of kids will put skates on and think, yeah, let's do this. Adults, we don't heal quite as fast, so take it slow and easy and small steps. So knees bent all the time, chest a little bit forward, start off by walking forward, practice your backwards walking as well. If you have your own skates, start on carpet at home, and then progress to your hardwood floors and tiles, and then come out to your local parks and enjoy the scenery.
Roller skating is fun for everybody, and once you learn how to roller skate, you'll be doing it for life.

SUMMARY
=======
Liverpool () is a city in North West England, with an estimated population of 491,500 in 2017. Its metropolitan area is the fifth-largest in the UK, with a population of 2.24 million in 2011. The local authority is Liverpool City Council, the most populous local government district in the metropolitan county of Merseyside and the largest in the Liverpool City Region.
Liverpool is on the eastern side of the Mersey Estuary, and historically lay within the ancient hundred of West Derby in the south west of the county of Lancashire. It became a borough in 1207 and a city in 1880. In 1889, it became a county borough independent of Lancashire.

Along with handling general cargo, freight, raw materials such as coal and cotton, the city merchants were involved in the Atlantic slave trade. In the 19th century, it was a major port of departure for Irish and English emigrants to North America. Liverpool was home to both the Cunard and White Star Line, and was the port of registry of the ocean liner RMS Titanic, the RMS Lusitania, RMS Queen Mary and RMS Olympic.
The popularity of the Beatles and other music groups from the Merseybeat era contributes to Liverpool's status as a tourist destination.

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.
