Could someone summarize everything that is needed to make a sentence thats a bit longer and more complex?
At this point I think I am pretty good at saying basic sentences and I dont want my conversation attempts to just look like this:
“Hello I am *name*.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“My hobby is this and that.”
“I like dogs.”
but rather be able to give most of these informations in a single sentence if possible.

some quick-n-dirty ways:
* qualify your nouns with embedded sentences
* use listing grammars such as たり たり する or し (as in multiple から) grammar
* use connectors like ので and だけど
Noun clauses, conjunctions, and slapping on と at the end are usually the main staples. You can use て form and で kind of like how English uses commas, but this can lead to run on sentences if you go too overboard. One of my favorite videos for this topic is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhyhru3h4XA
