So, I'm going to introduce myself:

こんいちは。

はじめまして。

わたしはゆいいち・くんです。

どうぞよろしく。



Can you point out the mistakes ? And is there any spacing in Japanese ?

and also:

ここにはながあります。 = "Here is flower."

how do I say: "Here are flowers"
like this: ?

ここにはなたちがあります。

or

ここにはなはながあります。

No general plural form. てがみ=letter or letters.
ここにははながあります=There are flowers here or there is a flower here. Not here is a flower.
There is no spacing in Japanese. When something is written in only hirgana then spacing is used sometimes. Kanji eliminates the need for spacing.
However some words can be plural and there are a few plural endings for some words. (たち、ら=people words only). Example:わたしたち (us) わたし(me). てめ(you) てめら(plural you) .きみ(よう) きみたち(plural you (something like "you guys" in english)). ひと(人)=people or person ひとびと(人々=人人)=people only.

Also, even in English, the plural form of kanji is kanji. Not kanjis. Same with hiraganas. The plural is hiragana.

He probably means 手前 (てまえ) which is a rude way of saying you. It is also sometimes pronounced as "temeee" as more slangy variant. You can also use お前 (おまえ) and お前たち as you and you all, but that's also considered quite rude, more likely heard in anime/comics.
