Ayudame ahora mismo porfavor

Hola! gracias por leyendo mi forum.

He estado aprendiendo español por tres años.
Ahora, tengo un novio de Guatemala y solo hablamos en español. Él puede entender un poquito Inglés, pero no como yo con mi español.
Tengo que expandir mi vocabulario. Entiendo cómo usar la idioma, y hablo español todos los días. Yo sé que practicando y hablando es el más importante. Por eso, siempre estoy practicando. También, escucho a reggaeton y bachata. Aprendo palabras nuevas todo el tiempo, pero no es suficiente.

Si puede recomendar libros, o programas! Quiero ser fluida muy malo, y yo se puedo. Solo no sé cómo puedo aprender español solita. Antes, estaba en escuela mientras estaba aprendiendo.

Gracias a todo!!!!

Hi! May you repeat that in English? I can't figure out what you're trying to say.

Very good try and very brave effort. Here are some hints for improvement:

Tengo que expandir mi vocabulario. Entiendo cómo usar la idioma ("Idioma" is masculine), y hablo español todos los días. Yo sé que practicando y hablando (*) es el (Check the uses of "lo" to substitute "el" when you're using it as some sort of subject of the sentence) más importante. Por eso, siempre estoy practicando. También, escucho a (You only need "a" after "escuchar" when you're talking about a person. Take a look on the uses of "personal a" here.) reggaeton y bachata. Aprendo palabras nuevas todo el tiempo, pero no es suficiente.

(*) "-ing" forms in English very often do not correspond to forms "-ando/-iendo" in Spanish. In your paragraphs the ones I marked in light blue would rather be equivalent of infinitives.

*** (Exclamation mark) Si puede recomendar libros, o programas! Quiero ser fluida muy malo ("Malo" in Spanish only refers to bad things in a negative way, so this formula doesn't work; check your dictionary for alternatives), y yo se (Accent missing "se" and "sé" are different words) que (Since you're having two conjugated verbs, there is need of a linking word between them) puedo. Solo *** (Another linking word needed here) no sé cómo puedo aprender español solita. Antes, estaba en escuela mientras estaba aprendiendo.

*** (Exclamation mark) Gracias a todo (If you are talking to a group of people, you need to use "todo" in plural"; otherwise you're thanking actually everything in the universe)!!!!
You have a great asset for learning with your boyfriend and people around him; making efforts to make yourself be understood will be fruitful. Since you already know some Spanish, learning on your own will be easier if you watch TV and movies, listen to radio, read magazines or books or websites...
If you are interested in specific topics, Internet can help you find plenty of websites where you can find content you'll be attracted to. If you have already seen some movie, try watching it in Spanish, so it can be predictable for you. If you've already read a book in English, try its Spanish translation, so you won't be lost.
Music is a great ally for learning too; just be aware that you might also be learning faulty grammar and very colloquial language.
