The first thing to understand is that spellwork is not as simple as finding some spells on the internet, lighting a few candles, chanting some words and **POOF** magic happens. Until you understand how and why magic works and have mastered the basics it is unlikely that any spell you try to cast is going to be effective. I would recommend starting with some good books on the subject. I suggest the following:
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar
Understanding what you are doing and believing it are key. Also note that a beginner performing a spell would be quite different from an experienced person performing the same spell in that the outcome may be much more subtle. It takes a while to gain power.
Don't understand me wrong i read books after books, i know what a spell includes, i know what i must do, i know that it will take time to take effect, and i know that i need time to gain power, all i asked was just a little spell to practice to get the hang of all this magic stuff.

If you have to ask for a simple spell to "practice" then you don't have sufficient grasp of the way magic works to make it successful. It isn't a matter of tools, it isn't a matter of chants, and it isn't a matter of "simple" versus "complex". It's a matter of understanding magic and energy work.
Spell casting isn't recommended for beginners. As Lark told you - before 'jumping' immediately into spell casting you should be familiar with basic areas of magic that will help you understand spell casting better and magic generally as well.
Also, you shouldn't cast spells you don't need just to gain experience.
You shouldn't ask us which kind of spells you should cast - you should ask that yourself.
Advanced magic practitioners cast spells only when they need to, meaning spells aren't cast uncontrollably, randomly or with no reason.
Spells are the last solution for things in life... If you have a need to cast a spell - you cast it, if you do not - then you don't cast a spell.
For instance, I wouldn't cast a luck spell unless I needed luck for something or felt an urge to aid myself with a spell.
After you learn basic magic concepts and gain experience with 'the basics' - you don't just take a random spell and cast it. You should cast for SERIOUS reasons and only if you really need to - magic isn't a toy to play with at all.
