My two cents

Thank you Pascal for the corrections. I should have mentioned this was completely informal. 안녕 should be sufficient in this case instead of 안녕하세요, right?
☞ You're right.^^' I made it into a plite one.

Can you explain why 제 is used here instead of 나의.
☞ The humble form of "나의" is "저의" and "제" is short for "저의", and "제" which is the possessive form of "저" is commony used in everyday Korean instead of "저의"

내 이름은 라이언이야(informal, intimate, not polite)
제 이름은 라이언이에요(informal, polite)

I understand the particle, 은. I am noticing you added the suffix 이에요 to years and my name. How come?
☞ "-이에요 or -예요" is a polite form of the copula verb "-이다".

난 미국인이다 (not polite)
전 미국인이에요(polite), "전" is short for "저는"

For the last sentence, i thought the verb stem for 'to study' is 공부하 and the suffix to make it present tense in this case was 여요.
☞ Yes, you're right, but...
공부하다 + 아/어/여 + 요 ☞ 공부하 + 여 + 요 ☞ 공부해요("해" is short for "하여")

Thank you for rearranging that last sentence. The order now makes sense
You're welcome.^^'
