Good morning!
Actually, the last error doesn't have to do with what you said. It has to do with a collocation mistake. The expression 'look forward to' will always go with an Ing verb. Thanks!

It's enough to say " you will not repeat these mistakes when you using again with repeat gives it a double emphasis and the sentence loses gravity. Good video.
