I am still very much a beginner.  I have had a Honduran friend add me as a friend on Facebook.  What is the proper translation for, "thank you for adding me as a friend, I am learning spanish this will help very much"?   

I have been trying to use Google Translate and came up with, "Gracias por amiga añadir . mi español no es bueno esto me ayudará a aprender ."  Would this be acceptable?

Happy New Year from Florida : )
