Hi, I'd like to learn to ice skate. Can you give me some suggestions about doing that without falling down, and picking out a pair of skates that's good for a beginner?

I’d say that the most important aspect of learning to ice skate is to be patient with yourself, to go slow, and just try to figure out what happens. You’ll find that as you do this, you’ll start to get a sense for how to control your movements, and it will become easier and easier.  So I think you’ll want to practice a lot at first, but you shouldn’t focus on the speed so much, just on what happens when you move.  Maybe what will help you is to be even slower, so just barely gliding a few feet forward on your first tries.  Then, gradually over time, you can speed up a little bit.

I'm going to buy a pair. Can you suggest a good pair for me?
