    English-Phoenetic pronunciation of a greeting such as Hello in Russian
    Hi! Have some new friends who are Russian speaking and I'd like to surprise them and greet them in their native tongue (They speak English) I need someone to tell me a Phoenetic pronunciation (phoenetic for an English speaking person to understand) of the greetings 'Hello' and Good Morning and Good afternoon that would be proper for an older person to speak to a younger person in Russian . I have no sound on my computer and cannot read cyrillic alphabet
