Cool!  I got in a little later; my first TKD has the blue cover, but glossy
and not embossed.  You should probably consider picking up a new one, since
it has the Addendum... er, added (that's redundant, eh?).

"I am a student/learner.  I want you(pl) to find my errors and you(pl) tell
me.  It helps me."

Very good; your grammar is fine.  The only thing I question is "tuja'",
since it sounds to me more like you wanted a command (HIja'/tell me!  Yes I
know it happens to be identical with "yes") and not a simple statement.

I understood it just fine.
