does anyone know where there are educational resources on learning the RUTHENIAN language? or can any one tell me some basic phrases so I'll get what it sounds like?

Hello!
Do you still need help with Ruthenian?
I can help you!
The only thing that I need explain me what specifically do you want?
I mean are you sure that you want to learn Ruthenian,
it has too many different variants, that means you need to be more specific, where it was used,
in certain time in 19th century and 20th partially it was used as name for Ukrainian language (western Ukraine variation).
Now this language is simply Ukrainian with regional peculiarities,
if you talk about Ruthenian of Transcarpathia where I am originally from that means that you talk about the living language,
that does exist, I speak it, however it is not really standardized, therefore it is spoken very differently in the thousand of localities all over Transcarpathia,
though we understand each other with no siginificant problem,
therefore if you submit more info,
only then it will be possible to tell for sure what it is,
coz it could be two different things, which were close centuries ago, but currently are quite different,
