Here's a chart (with sound) of the Cyrillic letters: http://www.friends-partners.org/oldfrien...

If you'd like to copy and paste Cyrillic letters for your MySpace name or something, here's a chart of Unicode letters: http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/cyrillic...

If you'd like to make English letters into Cyrillic (warning, this is not entirely accurate) use this: http://newyork.mashke.org/Conv/
