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.

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?
