I'm sorry beacause I've made a mistake: I don't know why but I've read "my language" as "many languages" Embarrassed

So the last line should be:

Latinus me meam linguam discendam adiuvat

I'm sorry

I would say rather

Lingua Latina gaudium est

and

Lingua Latina me ad meam linguam discendam adiuvat.

I would agree about "Lingua latina", which sounds better, but why do you advice against the absolute accusative? I thought it was nice and elegant...

Simply because my dictionary provides lots of examples of native speakers using the word, and all of the ones given that contain gerundives include the preposition. That is to say, I don't believe adiuvare takes a double-accusative construction in this way; I believe the ad is necessary to complete the meaning.
