how to wash the hands
Thanks for your note. You may want to check out Ritual Washing of the Hands where you can find instructions on how to wash your hands as well as the transliteration of the blessing.

the Washing of hands before partaking in Challah
It is nice to see exactly how the Shabbat should be carried out - but - everyone just seems to gloss over the washing of the hands. I have only heard the Bracha that is said over the washing of the hands twice in my entire life and am continually trawling through anything I can find on the Shabbas that will teach me how and what to say for the Bracha when we wash our hands.
Please can you do a special video that the Bracha so that I can learn the prayer too.
