No, it is in page 18, comment #140, but you can also follow this copy of the link.
I have downloaded, sorted and renamed the whole thing (362MB in 598 mp3 files) systematically so it can be used efficiently in any kind of device such as not-so-smart phones and the like. Available upon request to avoid copyright issues.

Even in the saddest day, one can rely on one certainty: at the evening there will be a superb joy: some good Verdi, or Mozart. Or, in this case, some Russian :)

Yesterday I presented an English test. It was harder than expected, since it included some exercises about the use of "on", "in", "at" with time expressions and lots of exercises with complex tenses, such as perfect conditional, "if" sentences, etc. In all it took me about 1.5 hours to answer it (it had 17 pages).
It is curious because I assumed that using English everyday (for instance, in this forum) meant that I had a good English level. But it is clear that, as any other language, English also requires continuous study.
What do you think, those of you, who are not English native speakers?

Another open question: is English grammar simplier than the grammar of other languages(eg, Russian, Spanish, French)?

It's more simple morphologically speaking (almost no case markings) and verb conjugations are very simple (although the continuous tenses can be difficult because they express actions in a way alien to most other IE languages, except... Irish and a few others I think??), but English sacrifices it for idiomatic usage of many set phrases and uses all these modals and prepositionals to convey other ideas and expressions instead. But it's less voluminous when it comes to sheer memorizing and tables, yes

The only difficulty in morphology are irregular verbs.
The syntax cannot be judged like that. To me it is more alien than the French and even
Spanish syntax, although not significantly.
The Perfect tenses are much harder than the continious ones, which are also present in
Spanis (both of them).
