Hey

[gatesofdawn.livejournal.com]

I'm just beginning to learn Russian.. I mean, I haven't even really gotten to the most basic grammar stuff.. just learning Cyrllic and some vocabularly. I've been transliterating the names of famous Russians back and forth from Cyrllic to English for fun, stuff like that. One thing I'm curious about, though, is when writing a letter or anything in Russian- how would I transliterate my name (Derrick Jason Stuart) into Russian Cyrllic?

This is my attempt- please correct me if I'm wrong, thanks for your help.

Another question

A friend from Moscow I emailed, asking for a bit of help with Russian.. emailed me back, but of course Yahoo mail displays all the Cryllic characters as Äæåéñîí, ???, etc. Is there something that I could download that would allow me to read this email with the Cryllic fully intact? Thanks.

Thanks to both med99 and oblomov_jerusal for corrected versions of this text :) I really can't do Cyrillic on my computer (well I can, but it's not very practical as I don't know which keys are which), so it's really appreciated!
