Thank you! I had a 100 in Spanish I and Spanish II, but when it comes to actually putting words together and speaking to people. They don't teach you how to do that. I know the very basics, and I work with some people and one of my best friends speaks Spanish so they are going to try to help too. Thank you again though! I really appreciate your help!

If you are speaking Spanish with your boyfriend parents use the formal person usted and ustedes don´t use tú person with older people if you want to cause a good impression. I am native Spanish speaker for more than twenty years.
