привет!

I am in the first part of two beginning summer Russian courses at my university. This is my third week. I am wondering if someone can explain the difference in usage between:

она / oн

and

её / его 

The course I am taking is taught with the Начало text which can be a bit frustrating at times because it doesn't explain all the words it uses.

Also, any tips about learning Russian? I hope to get a pen-pal/chat thing going on sometime later in the year when I can actually say more than a few sentences but mostly I am pretty bad at pronunciation. The course moves really fast (one Начало chapter a week out of seven that comprise the book) and sometimes I'll only hear a word spoken by the professor once--in passing-- if it is not on the CDs that accompy the book.

Are there any good russian dictionaries with audio online?

спасибо!
