Hey Enrique, I'd be happy to help try to answer any questions you have, and can also proofread for you if you want. I think the kind of tutorial you're talking about would be useful.
I assuming from your name (perhaps incorrectly though) that you speak Spanish; if that's the case you can ask me questions off-list in Spanish if you want if that's more convenient for you. That said, your English isn't funny at all. I assumed you were a native speaker, because really you write perfectly.
