的话 is a particle, it is used after the first clause of a hypothetical complex sentence to introduce the following contents.

For example:

1.(如果/假如/要是)有时间的话,我就去。(I'll go if I have time.)

2. 有时间的话,我就去。(I'll go if I have time.)

如果/假如/要是……的话,就…… = ………的话,就……

For example:

1. 要是我有很多钱的话,我就去世界旅行。 = 我有很多钱的话,我就去世界旅行。

If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world

2. 如果我有时间的话,我就去。= 有时间的话,我就去。

I'll go if I have time.

3. 假如我是你,我就跟他分手。= 我是你的话,我就跟他分手。

If I were you, I'd break up with him.

Notes:

The conjunctions 如果, 假如, and 要是 all indicate supposition and are all used in the first clause. The correlative adverb 就 is used in the second clause to indicate the result produced from the supposition.

The 的话 can also be used alone in the first clause, omitting the 就 in the second

For example:

1. 我不去的话,你还想去吗?(Do you still want to go if I don't?)

2. 有时间的话,我会陪你去逛街的。(If I have time, I will go shopping with you.)

I am learning this too. 的话 is usually attached to the first clause of a conditional statement. 

如果我想吃的话,就去买一袋饺子。

If you want to eat, buy a bag of dumplings.
