I want to ask for help with learning Japanese. Is 助けてください appropriate for this
situation? Should I use something else? Is a particle needed in the request?

When is 助けてください appropriate?
as Chocolate said, there are two main ways to ask for "help"

助{たす}けてください is used for situations in which you feel some distress.

手伝{てつだ}ってください is used for situations where you would like some assistance.

you have another choice as well, you could ask for the specific type of help
you want, in this case, help learning Japanese. So you could say

日本語{にほんご}の勉強{べんきょう}を手伝{てつだ}ってください。

or

日本語 教{おし}えてください。This one, "Please teach me Japanese." sounds a little too
forceful, though. Use with caution.
