What I am really looking for is a transliteration. I've been planning on learning how to speak Russian, and I would like to start out on the basics. I know how to say 'goodbye', but I'm clueless on how to say 'hello'. Any transliteration would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!~

I want to learn Russian but I am not sure if I should learn it via transliteration or by learning Cyrillic first. Which would be the path to take?

Trying to find answer to this for a term paper. Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks! I got "Romanized Russian" from Wikipedia: the transliteration of Russian in Cyrillic to Russian in Latin.

Thanks again!

I have lots of Russian friends on Facebook who like to sign their names in Russian when they write wall posts, and I'd like to be able to do the same. Does anyone know how to transliterate Chris Carroux into Russian? It'd be greatly appreciated!

My last name is French, so it would be pronounced "cuhroo" with an emphasis on the "oo" sound. Also, if you could include the transliteration for Christopher, then that would be great. Thanks!
