What do you think of my mistakes?

Hola, buenas noches:

a) Disculpe, quiero que me ayudas por favor.
b) Cuando voy a España, la semana que viene, hablaré español.
c) Aprendo español para que mi mujer español me puede entender.

Sé que estas oraciones estan malas pero, dichas por un extranjero, ¿Qué os parecen...raras, graciosas, ininteligibles...u otra cosa?
(Me podéis decir la verdad, esta bien jeje)
Gracias.

Hi folks, I know these sentences are wrong (I've marked the mistakes in bold (or at least I hope so). But how do they sound coming from a foreigner? What is your reaction to hearing subjuctive mistakes? (Please be honest - I can take it - wink wink)

Thanks.

a) A bit shocking initially (without subjunctive: "ayudes"), but understandable.
b) Perfect.
c) A bit funny to hear "español" for a woman (instead of "española"), and weird the lack of subjunctive (should have been "pueda"), but not difficult to understand.

Your written Spanish is surprisingly good, by the way. You use of accents, colons (as in "Buenas noches:"), inverted question marks and others is unusually precise. Congrats!
