Corrections

First of all, I am not good at English.

I want to thank the person who helped and corrected me.

Today, I was delighted to learning have a new English lesson and a new Spanish lesson.

After the main verb in the sentence, we use either the infinitive form (beginning with "to" + verb) of the next verb or the gerund form (ending in "ing"), depending on several factors (sometimes both are correct, but most of the time only one way is correct). So, in this case, it would need to be "to learn". However, it sounds more natural to say that you "have" or "take" a lesson if it relates to a specific subject (we can say that we "learn a lesson" if it is a general, life lesson). You can say that you took/had a lesson, and then you can say what you learned from the lesson.

I want to work very hard, day and night for, to improve in towo languages.

Here, "day and night" is part of an appositive (a clause that adds new/extra information but isn't necessary to understand the sentence), and appositives are always enclosed by commas on both sides. Additionally, "to improve" is another example where the infinitive form of the verb is required after the main verb in the clause. Lastly, it should be spelled "two" instead of "tow".

I hope to show to my best friend Colombian.

Hmm... I'm not exactly sure what you mean here, so I can't make an appropriate correction. Do you mean that you want to show your Colombian friend what you've learned in the languages? If so, you can say, "I hope to show my best friend, who is Colombian, what I've learned." Most of the time you can stack adjectives (like "my favorite old movie" or "my funny best friend"), but not in the case of "best" and an ethnicity (like Colombian, American, Italian, Chinese, etc).

Who I am?am I?

The question word order is "question word" + "verb" + "subject", or "question word" + "helping verb" + "subject" + "verb" in English. For example, "Where are we going?" "How does he feel?" "Why is she crying?" "What do you mean?"

I hope my friend bewill feel proud of me when tohey come out ato my country, Algeria.

You can either say, "I hope my friend will feel proud of me" or "I hope my friend will be proud of me"- both are acceptable, but the forms cannot be mixed (INCORRECT: "He will be feel proud of me.") Also, we use the preposition "to" when speaking of traveling/going/coming somewhere. For example, "I am going TO the park." "He is flying TO Algeria."

Feedback

Don't say you're bad at English! There is no bad/good at a language, only different stages along the journey of learning. We all have to start somewhere, and the most important thing is that we keep an open mind to continue learning and improving. I can see you already have the attitude, so I'm sure you will reach your language goals with time, patience, and perseverance. Let me know if you have any questions about my corrections and I will try to explain further. Great job!

My friend Colombian, it means a lot...He speaks two languages. I want to improve with both languages, because he will be visiting me in next year.

Thank you.

Hey, glad I could help!
I realize re-reading it that my suggestion wasn't totally clear.
You can stack the adjective "best" plus an ethnicity before a noun, but the word order is important, otherwise it will sound off. So, you can say "my Colombian best friend" or "my best friend, who is Colombian", but it's incorrect to say "my best Colombian friend" or "my best friend Colombian".
Hope that makes sense. I can't explain all the rules about adjective word order, but you can find a good overview here: https://www.grammarly.com/blog/adjective-order/ This article gives you all the general rules on this topic and some example sentences. I would encourage you to try to post some sentences using these rules to practice the concept further.
How exciting to hear your friend is coming to visit you! It's great that you're working to improve your language skills before that time. Stay strong and keep improving! I'm sure you will reach your goals. Have a great day!

I see what you mean. I only changed "learn" to "have" because it sounds more natural this way. When speaking about specific subject that you learn (math, English, geography, computer programming, etc), we often say either that we "take" a lesson or that we "have" a lesson. For general things that we learn through life and our experiences, then we can say we "learn" a lesson.
For example, in your case, you said that these lessons were taught by youtubers online, so to describe this, you could say, "I watched a new English and Spanish lesson on youtube today. I learned about.... (whatever concept/new thing that you learned)." In this situation, we wouldn't usually say that we "learn" the lesson.
The exception as I mentioned above is when speaking about general life lessons. For example, if a child lies to their parents about something, and then faces many consequences for that lie, afterwards they might say, "I learned my lesson not to tell lies." Or maybe someone loses a lot of money to a scammer online, then they might say, "I learned my lesson not to blindly trust people online."
I hope that clarifies my suggestion. Let me know if something is still unclear.
