hope you don't find this offensive but as a German learner I can say, it's better to look at what is different between English and German, not at similarity. German people are always super strict with their own grammar, so better respect it.

For example, noun is always starting with a capital letter, which is not always so in English.
-> Mein Name ist Kaori.

when you use verbal auxiliary (can/should/must etc), main verb comes at the end.
-> Ich kann Deutsch nicht sprechen.
("Ich kann kein Deutch" sounds more practical though)

the position of "nicht" also matters but just note it and you'll learn it another time.

It'll be getting fun when you start seeing their characteristics like logical thinking, honesty, stubbornness etc :P in the grammar! have fun!
