So many mistakes, Ahhhhh!!!
[edit] Turn on Annotations and Subs to see some corrections.

Anyway, I welcome all your general and specific feedback.
To be really helpful, please use timecode to identify what you’re referring to. For example:
01:45 "üben" sounds wrong. It should be more like "blah, blah, blah".

Thanks.

Hi, Rory.  Since you asked for general feedback, here's my general advice.

I was just like you for many years learning German.  I hated my mistakes, and I would take a long time to try to built error-free sentences in my head before uttering the first word.  And I would make mistakes anyway.

It wasn't until years later, living in Germany, when I actually had to *speak* with my colleagues and friends that I finally resigned myself to the fact that I was going to make mistakes... and I gave myself permission to do it (because everyone can understand your meaning anyway)...  and *BAM*!  That was when everything finally started flowing for me.  I had studied for years, lived in Germany for a month before, and spent a month traveling through Central Europe.  But I'd never been able to speak "fluently" in German until I let go and just started speaking... imperfect, laughably ungrammatical German.

My advice is to do this as soon as possible.  I'm not saying grammar isn't important.  It is.  But it can come later... through exposure to a *lot* of spoken and written German.  And speaking more now will open the door to allow all of that wonderful native content to start flowing toward you.

Viel Glück!

0:06 "Tage 0" --> "Tag 0".
0:15 "meinen Aussprache" --> "meine Aussprache"
0:24 "ich weiß viele Wörter" --> "ich kenne viele Wörter"
0:30 "meine Grammatig" (-ich) --> "meine Grammatik" (-ick) (you got it right at 1:32)
0:38 "ich muss lange Pause machen" --> "ich muss lange Pausen machen"
0:40 "zum Satz Konstruktieren" --> "um einen Satz zusammenzubauen" (und das Verb zu "Konstruktion" ist "konstruieren")
1:36 "Verben Kondschugation" --> "Verbkonjugation(en)"

@Jason Bechtel I can't reply to you for some reason. Thanks for the suggestions. Hopefully with consistent study, practice and speaking I'll lay the groundwork for real fluency later.
