Bienvenido, Brandon.
Para haber estudiado sólo dos años, ¡no está nada mal!
[Having studied only two years, it is not bad at all!]
Enjoy your learning around here!

(I corrected your sentence, to say,
It is very good. Much better than my Spanish.) If I , correct my perception...

The good thing around this forum is that we are all ready to learn to say or write things correctly, and even if we put our foot in our mouths more often than not, we stay always ready to be corrected and ready to learn...

I thought "es" also meant "it is" but apparently not. Thanks a lot

One of the meanings of es is 'it is', as you thought. There are two verbs in Spanish that translate as 'to be' in English, and we English speakers have to learn when to use which one. Have a look at this thread to learn the differences between ser and estar.

Thanks a lot. It's all a lot to take in, but I will try.

Está bien. It's right.

Está malo. It's bad.

¿Este correcto?

Welcome.

I'd say "corregid" (imperative form for "vosotros").
