Ещё раз can mean both one more time and again. Ещё by itself can mean more or, in some cases, it means still or yet (as in «He hasn't finished working yet» – «Он ещё не закончил работать»). Раз means once or one and sometimes people count saying «Раз, два, три...» instead of «Один, два, три...». It can also mean since, for example, «Раз уж ты здесь...» – «Since you're here...». So, ещё раз means something like once more, one more time or again.

I tried this one, and it was accepted. "Skazhite eshchte raz, vy Ivan?"
I had problems with letter "Щ". But as I did my small google research, Щ (shcha) can be pronounced as "sh", same as "shch" in some other dialects.
If you use Gnome desktop, just install the Russian keyboard mapping. Keyboard mappings can be installed as a Region & Language setting, not a keyboard setting. After that in the upper right corner an icon will appear where you can select your keyboard. This icon has a little menu as well which allows you to display the keyboard mapping. Keyboard layout can also be switched using Super+Space (Super is usually the right Win-key). Transparent Cyrillic keyboard stickers are also great.
i use http://russian.typeit.org when i’m on my computer and then just copy and paste it. you should get the hang of typing on it pretty quickly :)
i wrote "tell me again, are you Ivan?!" it just makes it more dramatic :)
how do you transliterate that i n english ? I tried all possible combinations and it is always wrong ! thanks for your help. and please don't tell me to install the Cyrillic alphabet. I have no idea how to do it even if you give me all the links. I don't understand Technics! I am 80 and was never a technician of any kind.
