    How do you pronounce "ее" и "вв"

    What I mean is in words such as Введение and более. Also, while I'm at it and if anyone feels so, how are её and нём pronounced? Are they like "yehyo" and "nyom"? Also, I'm clueless as to how the IPA works. I'm not asking to be taught in how the IPA works, I'm just saying, I won't be able to understand.

    I could specify what is your native language, anyway...

    введение: vveeh-d'e-neeh-yeh (vv is just a double v, really; all the 'ee' are short; the 'd' is soft; the 'e' is stressed)

    более is something like: baw-leeh-yeh (the 'aw' as in 'saw'; the 'ee' is short)

    Are they like "yehyo" and "nyom"?
    They are. Only it's closer to "yeeh-yo" since the vowel is not stressed (unstressed 'е' become "и" in Russian).
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    Wow, that is a hell of a response, and it's greatly appreciated. That cleared everything up. My native tongue is English. Well, American anyway. Again, спасибо
