I am a native English teacher. I speak beginner Spanish. I am studying an MSc now and I am working so my schedule is difficult, but I want to start speaking it. I am worried that talking to me in Spanish could be very boring for yoi, because of my level. My interests are psychology, politics and social and cultural issues. Thanks

The second one is correct. 'Took' makes it clear the action was in the past. You would only use 'did' if the question were 'How long did it take you?'. There is already the auxiliary verb 'DO you know how....' , so you do not need to repeat it

My car
My car’s battery was dead. I had my neighbor helped jumping it. After that I have left my engine running.
Your first sentence is fine.
In American English:
I had my neighbor help me to jump (start) it. After that I left my engine running.
In British English:
I got my neighbour to help jump start it. After that I left the engine running.
In England we would probably say 'jump start' an engine, but I think this is optional in the USA
