Hi Kim,
That's fantastic news! Spanish is a beautiful language and I'm sure you'll love it.
My best tip is to practise a little every day, even for ten minutes. You should also watch Spanish films with subtitles.
I think apps are better than books because they're fun and you can use them anywhere, for example on the bus. But a good grammar book is useful too.
Of course I can help you! Why don't we have a video call every Sunday evening? We can speak Spanish for half an hour and English for half an hour.
Write soon,
Dani
