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).

It is a subsidiary of Italian-American automobile manufacturer Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which is registered in the Netherlands and headquartered in London for tax purposes. Previously, the brand's holding company existed as Chrysler Corporation (1925–1998), DaimlerChrysler (1998–2007), Chrysler, LLC (2007–2009), and Chrysler Group, LLC (2009–2014). In addition to the flagship Chrysler brand, FCA sells vehicles worldwide under the Dodge, Jeep, and Ram nameplates.

Walter Chrysler founded the original Chrysler Corporation was founded from the remains of the Maxwell Motor Company in 1925.

New CEO Lee Iacocca was credited with returning the company to profitability in the 1980s. In 1985, Diamond-Star Motors was created, further expanding the Chrysler-Mitsubishi relationship. In 1987, Chrysler acquired American Motors Corporation (AMC), which brought the profitable Jeep brand under the Chrysler umbrella. In 1998, Chrysler merged with German automaker Daimler-Benz to form DaimlerChrysler; the merger proved contentious with investors. As a result, Chrysler was sold to Cerberus Capital Management and renamed Chrysler LLC in 2007.
