Se on vähän kuin kysyä: "Mä haluan lentää avaruuteen, voisitteko auttaa minua?" Ehkä joku haluu auttaa mutta kai sinun täytyy pyytää jotain enemmän spesifista.

Also, this is an open invitation to everyone else to take my first "public"(ish) self-constructed Finnish sentence apart and show me just how much I messed up.

Not much... very nice colloquially and idiomatically.

Se on vähän kuin kysyisi: "Mä haluan lentää avaruuteen, voisitteko auttaa minua?" Ehkä joku haluaisi auttaa, mutta [] sinun täytyy pyytää jotain enemmän spesifistä.

The thing is, if you use colloquail, you need to be colloquial all the way, if you go proper, then you need to be proper all the way. I "corrected" this towards the "proper", but we can also go down the other path.

Se on vähän kun et joku kysyy: "Mä haluun lentää avaruuteen, viitsiiks ketään auttaa mua?" Ehkä joku haluu auttaa, mut kai sun tarttee pyytää jotain enämpi spesifista.

Now with the first one you get a pass in the test, the latter one gets you by on the street.

Thanks. That's not as bad as I thought. I didn't realize the conditional would fit better here. Feel a bit silly about using a for ä.

I guess kai would be too much on top of the conditional, or was it weird even before that?

[Pursuivant]

Naah, I just felt it a bit superfluous... its more used in rhetoric conditionals like sun kai pitää mennä kotiin itkeen ny, there isn't that sort of rhetoric "if" available. Its more like "some action needed" what you are trying to convey there instead of a bit condecending "maybe you should"... just a bit of a nuance, not wrong at all. I'd say pretty good in fact.

Your next step is to realize that in a sentence like this, you would normally omit minä (likewise sinä, me, te; but keep hän, se, he, ne). Olen already means "I am," asun means "I reside," and en means "I don't" -- no pronoun required. Fluent speakers use words like minä (here) mostly for emphasis, contrast, etc. Using it unnecessarily, especially multiple times within a few minutes, waves a little flag that says "non-native speaker here." In the beginning it's better to err on the side of omitting than including.

Otherwise not bad for a first sentence. You have a few small spelling mistakes: ya -> ja, puhuu -> puhu, hyviin -> hyvin, and autaa -> auttaa. Also in your title, oppea -> oppia.

What resources have you used to learn this much? Do you have the option to attend classes? Do you have Finnish-speaking friends? What to do next depends partly on what you are already doing and what options are open for you.

Reading and imitating is always good if you can find a level of material you can understand or decipher. Studying grammar in a vacuum may teach you a lot about the language but it won't teach you the language. Just enough grammar to understand the sentences you are studying is the most productive approach in my opinion. (I've done it it both ways.)

And pay lots and lots of attention from the very beginning to single versus double in vowels and consonants. Practice reading sentences out loud and exaggerating.

Unohdin kysyä - osaathan englantia?

I can't be sure but I think you may have misread something.

My first sentence was a reply to the person in the first post.
The OP however, I think speaks no or little English, or in any case I think would like to try to communicate in Finnish, and hasn't asked for sentence deconstruction. (though I can imagine it is still helpful, but perhaps in Arabic .P)

Sorry if I got it wrong and you understood completely.

I don't think filling the text with random colloquial expressions is a good way of demonstrating what you're trying to demonstrate.

How about...
kirjakieli:
"Tuo on vähän kuin kysyisi: "Haluan lentää avaruuteen, voisitteko auttaa minua?". Ehkä joku haluaa auttaa, mutta sinun pitäisi kysyä jotain tarkempaa."
puhekieli:
"Toi on vähän ku kysyis: "Mä haluun lentää avaruuteen, viittittekö auttaa?" Ehkä joku haluukin auttaa, mut sun pitäis kysyy jotain tarkempaa."

I got rid of "spesifinen", which is a sivistyssana. Save those for academic texts

[Pursuivant]

Well, the latter is my puhekieli, you ponce

[Upphew]

Toijjon vähä ku kysys: "Mie haluun lentää avaruutee, viittisittekö auttaa?" Ehkä joku haluuki, mut siun pitäs kysyy jotai tarkemmi.

[Jukka Aho]

Tuo ny on vähä ku sanoos notta ”mää taharon lentää taivahalle, viittittäkö klopiit jelepata”. Kaippa joku tuloo sua tohorittamahan, mutta kyllä oikiasti tarttis saara tietää vähä paremmin, mitä sä oikeen tuollaasella kysymyksellä meinaat.

[onkko]

Toha o vähä ko kysys "mä haluun lentää avaruutehe, viittisittekö auttaa?" Ehkä joku haluuki mut sun pitäs kysyy tarkemmi.

[jahasjahas]

Well, the latter is my puhekieli, you ponce

Ketä olisi uskonut!
