Some newbie questions

So I have bought an S5 after 3-4 years of using an iphone... it is a litte difficult for me. First of all I want to change my language and than I want to turn off the auto-correct can somebody guide me?

Welcome to Android!

So, do you want to change the language for the whole phone or just the keyboard? If it's the latter (which I'm assuming since you want to turn Autocorrect off), just summon the keyboard from any text box and either select the gear icon next to the SYM key if it's there, or if it's not, long press on whatever is next to the SYM key and then you should be able to select the gear, or go into your Language and Input Settings and select the gear icon next to your Samsung Keyboard.

There you can add languages to your keyboard and select the keyboard layout (you can't really 'change' the language as it autodetects which one you're writing on if you have more than one) and also turn off autocorrect and the 'swype' method.

Yes, I want to change the language for the whole phone...

For the whole phone go into your Language and Input settings and at the top you'll find the language option. That changes your phone's overall language. Depending on the region your phone was meant to be used it's the available language list you can find.

This should guide you through it

I did it finally... The biggest problem was the language, I wasn`t used to romanian terms so that`s why I didn`t found anything, but now everything is cool. Thanks
