Where to begin?

[Unimatrix 2]

To learn more about security etc, I'm doing all Internet challenges I can find. Unfortunately I always get stuck. This time i need to decipher a text.
I've read a lot articles about: Caesar’s box, mono alphabetic substitution etc. But now I’ve encountered a text and I don’t know where to begin.
I've tried to replace all the letters 26 times, according to the Caesar’s box. But that doesnt seems to work.
And i also tried the mono alphabetic substitution method, but that doesn’t seem to work either.
And according to the challenge it must be really easy....
Here is the text:

Gsv kzhhdliw gszg blf mvvw rh gsv mznv gszg
yvolmth gl gsv nzm gszg hzbh gsv mvcg hvmgvmxv:

"Givzg blfi kzhhdliw orpv blfi gllgsyifhs.
Wlm'g ovg zmbylwb vohv fhv rg, zmw tvg z mvd
lmv vevib hrc nlmgsh."

Could someone please give me a hint of what to do and how to proceed? (Not the answer)

Thank you.

Not sure if it's the solution but you could count how many times each letter is used. Then consider that the letter e is used the most in english text. Work from there..

well I think that you better make a new program for this purpose which works according to the options YOU provide to it. It will be a lot easier than the manual way. I know it is really tough to change the code...but it takes less time in the long run to deciphering things by your own.

Its is pretty basic....and I am no good a ciphers....

There are only 2 words in English that contain 1 letter.....


I will let you figure it out from there ;)

(course deciphering the cyrillic may be more difficult than the cipher :0)

Pat...I'd Like to buy a vowel....
