¿Cómo se dice "I want to improve my Spanish" en español?
I'm kind of dismayed that I don't know how to say this but I can't come up with anything that sounds natural to me.

I wanted to correct Jeannette's Notebook Entry titled "Mi presentaciòn :)" but I ran into some difficulty with one sentence.

She wrote:

Espero que alguien me puede ayudar a ampliar mis conocimientos. (en español).

Is "ampliar mis conocimientos" the right phrase here? This just sounded strange to me but I'm not a native speaker so what do I know?

Working with Google Translate, I came up with:

I hope someone can help me improve my abilities in the Spanish language.
Espero que alguien pueda ayudarme a mejorar mis habilidades en el idioma español. (o simplemente "en español? ")

Well that sounds a bit formal to me. I'm also concerened about "habilidades". Is that the best word here? It doesn't seem much better than "conocimientos".

Could one just say " ayudarme a mejorar mi español?" That seems like a translation from English. Is it natural to say that?

Answer

'Ampliar mis conocimientos' I think it's like: I want to improve my knowledge in Spanish.
You can say just: 'Quiero mejorar mi Español' if you ask for help :  '¿alguien puede ayudarme con el Español? '¿alguien puede ayudarme a mejorar mi español?' 
I hope this help you :)

Answer

The correct translation is: "Yo necesito mejorar mi Español".
Add me if you want a Spanish teacher, I'm a young spanish, who needs to improve his English.
