To sound less like a robot, here's my suggested rewrite for you ;D
你好，我叫xxx，我正在学汉语。你好吗？你会说普通话吗？有没有时间陪我聊聊天？
Etc.
Should i use that style of question for any yes or no question? Like you did 有没有, I’ve also seen 是不是 and similar others also.
It's a way to turn any action into a question. It could be a more casual and informal, more endearing /soft way of questioning something (depending on the actual emotional tone you say it with, if course) .
看没看过？have...seen it? 吃没吃过？have... eaten it? 玩没玩过？have ... played it? 读没读过？have ... read it?
是不是 （很好玩）？isn't it (fun)? 好不好 isn't it good? 看不看xyz--do (you/we/they) wanna watch xyz? 知不知道xyz--do...know xyz?
Etc.
谢谢你！
So what I read in that is:
Hello, I am xxx, I am (doing?) Chinese language. How are you? Do you speak (something)? Do you have any (something something 我 something something something)?
That gives me a great perspective on how to sound more natural, and some characters to learn too, thank you again!!
有没有 have or not have 时间 time 陪我 accompany me/accommodate me 聊聊天 chat a bit
谢谢你🙏
Your help is greatly appreciated! It will not be forgotten!
