At first, you should ask you question (grammar, translation, etc.☺). What would you like to know?

I mean - youR question)
Ok thank you)
Kadi Kate, вот вам первый урок:)
Я здесь впервые/в первый раз - это "I'm am here for the first time"/"It's my first time here", а не "I'm here at first". Лучше же, если вы хотите сказать, что вы новичок где-либо, будет сказать "I'm new here".
Привет Kate! Also it's better to say HELP ME LEARN than HELP ME TO LEARN. Hope this helps and welcome to the site :)
Uly, "help me do" is American, "help me to do" is British.
But both are correct.
Both may be correct, but most people on both continents suggest NOT using "to" with HELP:
Many thanks Uly!
From the link you have provided to me (and that I had read before for the same reason):
I think you may find there is also a difference here between US and GB English (a field worth writing a book about!). From experience, I'd say "help...to" is more prevalent in British English and less common in the US. As a British translator (from German) I've sometimes had "help to + infinitive" corrected to just "help + infinitive" by US editors.
So, we probably need to consider US vs. UK differences - especially if our audience needs one 'dialect' over the other, and at least to mark the American or British preferences where possible?
Absolutely
