Hai, teisei subeki kasho ga ikutsuka arimasu. (Yes, there are some
parts to be corrected.)

You should say "Watashi wa shiawase desu" in this case. When
someone gives you a present or says something nice about you, or
when you meet an old friend by chance, you feel "ureshii", which
means a temporary glad or happy feeling.

"Saikin wa nihongo no benkyo o shiteimasu yo" is the right sentence.

You mean "Kaku koto wa suki desu" or "Watashi wa kaku koto ga suki
desu".

This sentence is grammatically perfect, but it's hard to understand
what you really want to say, because it sounds like a general
statement and not about yourself. Maybe you should say "Watashi ni
totte nihongo o benkyou suru koto wa mada totemo juuyou/daiji
desu".

Not "200 bunpo no bun o" but "Bunpou no bun 200 (nihyaku) o".

"Hiragana mo naratte imasu" is better.

"Ie de nihongo no renshuu no teepu o kiiteimasu" is better.

Not "mimasu" but "mimashita" (past tense).

It takes time to understand what you really mean to say here. If you
ask "Watashi no nihongo ni doko ka teisei-suru/naosu tokoro wa
arimasu ka", then any Japanese will understand instantly.
