First notebook entry: Introducing myself
Hola,
Me gustaria aprender español porque pienso que esa moy interesante idioma.
Yo puedo ayodar todo con hebreo y ingles.
Gracias !¡Hola!, me gustaría aprender español porque pienso que ese es un idioma muy interesante. You puedo ayudar a todos con hebreo e inglés. ¡Gracias!.
¡Hola! - In Spanish you need inverted exclamation/question marks to call the attention of the reader to the fact that it is an exclamation/question.
gustaría - If you do not add an acute accent over the I in gustarÍa, it would be reas as gusTAria, and that would make no sense. Notice, though, that on the internet sometimes people leave the accents, for practical reasons.
Ese - this (masculine form) because 'idioma' is masculine (the -a termination may be a bit misguiding hehehehe), so using it in a sentence: 'ese es UN idioma' or "un idioma complejO" (this is a language; it is a complex language)
ayudar - this is the correct spelling!
a todos - todo = everything; a todos = everyone - the 'a' is a preposition needed in that case.
e - 'and' is usually 'y', except when the next word starts with a 'i' sound (like 'inglés'), in that case, you will have to change it to 'e' (it's a rule, but a logic one!).
inglés - withou the accent it would be read INgles, with the accent inGLÉS.
¡Gracias! - again, the inverted exclamation mark, refer to the first item in the list!
Way to go! Keep studying and soon you'll be able to say everything!

Hoje falo um pouco com uma amiga. Ela não é portuguesa mas uma estrangeira como me. Nós encontramos no curso de português de estrangeiros. Nós encontramos por volta uma vez por semana e falar por uma hora na língua portuguesa.
Segundo dia de escrita.
Hoje eu falei (even though it is today, it has already happened, thus in the past, not present tense) um pouco com uma amiga. Ela não é portuguesa, e sim ('mas'=but is correct, just a suggestion as it feels a bit more natural to my ears) uma estrangeira como eu. Nós nos encontramos (nos = us, ouselves; actually this verb is reflexive [lit. we met each other], that's why you need to add the 'nos'. Notice that nós = we ; nos = us are written differently (acute accent)) por volta de uma vez por semana (you could also say "aproximadamente" = appoximately; "mais ou menos" = more or less), e falamos ('por' is correct; durante = during sounds better to me) em português (it is absolutely ok, but again 'na língua portuguesa' would sound pretty much the same as "Do you speak the English language?" to someone...)
Way to go! All in all it is pretty understandable, you wouldn't have much trouble communicating in the streets! Feel free to add or contact me if you need more corrections!

Óla! Eu sou Andrew. Eu vai de San Francisco. Eu estou aprendendo português para o copo do mudo, qual é em Brasil. Sim, eu gosto de futebal. Tchau!
Eu sou um jovem (menino = lad, usually for small children).
Oi! (olá = textbook Portuguese, almost never heard). Eu sou Andrew (you could also say: Eu me chamo = lit. "I am called"). Eu venho de São Francisco (vai de = go(es) from). Eu estou aprendendo português para a Copa do Mundo (upper case as it's a proper noun; also A Copa, as it is a feminine noun), a qual (a qual = which; you could also use 'que' = 'that' which is much more used in informal language). Sim eu gosto de futebol (futebOl). Tchau!
Congrats! Way to go, mate! feel free to add me and ask stuff! Overall, it is pretty understandable, but you should mind the details!
