Space between the nav items can be done with margin and padding. Start out small and play around with the numbers so you get a feel for how things work. margin: 3px ; would put a margin of 3px around the entire element. Just play around with it and use the chrome developer tools. They really help to get a grasp on how different elements take up different kinds of space with margin and padding. Keep going, you are only 2 days into this. Good luck!
