Russian to Irish / Irish to Russian

Hello,

I'm new to this site but I am looking for some help, I am looking for a website that can teach me firstly, the Russian Alphabet and how it is written and secondly somewhere where I could learn the very bascis of Russian (preferably a place that would have phonetics written beside the words...for ignorant people like me!!) In return I can guide people in the right direction for learning the Irish language , for exmaple http://www.gaeilge.ie is a good start for people learning Irish. If I could find a site for learners of Russian I would be very greatful,

Go raibh maith agaibh, (thank you),

McLove, I'm curious - what sort of "basics" are you referring to when you say you want a site with the basics? Are you interested in useful phrases with clear pronunciation and audio, or something like a "beginner's course" where you would actually learn a bit about how the language works?

Milanya thanks very much for that, I haven't used the link yet but as soon as I'm finished here I will use it.

Pravit, a Chara,
Thanks for getting back to me aswell. The type of basics that I am looking for is like a beginners course, but I am looking for something I can do in my own time...preferably online. I would like to be able to go to Russia and be able to greet people in their own tongue, I would like to be able to ask for directions and be able to understand their responses.

I would eventually like to be fluent in the language, but I must crawl before I walk and walk before I run.

Another thing that interests me (and this may seem strange, but I find it helps people to learn) is childrens books. I would like to be able to read books in Russian, basic books. For example: The three bears (Now I feel like a complete child, but if anyone was to ask me what is the best method to learn Irish I would tell them that they must be able to drop themselves to the level of a child when learning a language, afterall this is how everyone learned their mother tongue to begin with.

Le gache dea-mh

Isn't MasterRussian the site you're looking for?

BTW, there is nice russian-language resource for everybody interested in Irish language and culture (http://www.irish.ru).

2. If you send a letter from Éire to Northern Ireland, do you have to pay more than if you were sending it inside Éire. Does it cost less for someone to send a letter from NI to Éire thna it does from England to Éire. Also, do BT customers in NI pay less to phone people in Éire than I would as a BT customer in London?

I was just listening to http://www.iol.ie/~rnl102/fuaim.html
Gaelic sounds nice. It's funny how the people are stick little english bits in. I heard her say "you know". And I just love the number 4!

Heya =) Well to be honest Irish is taught pis$ poorly so I reckon- Baile means town, Abhaile means home..... why? I don't know.
Yea about sending letters to the North. I'm pretty sure it costs the same as sending one to the rest of the UK and off foreign but I isnae sure. I think with BT Northern Ireland there are deals on calling those in Éire so it is cheaper for them to call here than for you.... is..nae.. sure...
