Kerbal weirdness in Hungarian (with English subtitles) - Linguistic advice wanted!

Recommended Posts

Since late June this year, I've been making an effort to teach myself Hungarian. And as a fun way to practice and learn new words, I've started a series of KSP videos that are exactly the same as my usual videos, except that they're narrated in my crappy beginner's Hungarian. In this thread, I have posted my latest one (with English subtitles, of course).
Obviously, learning the language is pretty difficult, as I don't have any teacher that can explain stuff and don't even know anyone I can ask for help. So I'm basically stuck with Google, Wiktionary and random Disney songs. Thus, even though I feel like I understand the grammar somewhat (at least in theory), I still worry constantly that I'll only manage to produce nonsense whenever I actually try to write even the simplest sentences myself.

Therefore, I would really appreciate any feedback from anyone who speaks Hungarian as their first language! Just some linguistic advice on grammar, sentence structure, phrasing... that kind of stuff. Anything that I can use to improve on the parts where I mess up.
I have provided a transcript of the video below, in case my shaky pronunciation makes the words too difficult to make out.

 

TL;DR for those who don't speak Hungarian: here's a simple, short video that I hope you will find amusing!

Transcript:
Hétfő van. Az igazi Bob emelkedik a tengerből. Jó napot kivánok, Bob! Igazi Bob! Örülök, hogy újra élsz! Akarsz te is az űrbe utazni? Azzal a rakétával?
Nem. Sajnos nem elég magas vagy. Valóban nagyon alacsony vagy, drága Bob. Az épület ott pedig magas. Menj oda, kicsi űrember! Mássz fel a tetőre, hogy magasabb és boldogabb légy!
Jó!
Mit csinálsz a tetőn, Bob? Mi rakétánk haldoklik! Mire vársz? Jöjj le! Segíts neki!
Túl késő. A szegény rakéta most halott. És az a te hibád! Menj most vissza addig az épületig és gondolj arra mit tettél. Menj oda, nézz arra a falra, és állj ott örökre.

@FelsmakWhy Hungarian?

No particular reason, really. I was watching some dubbed versions of a Disney song, and the Hungarian one caught my interest. Then I saw the language in writing and thought "That language is weird. I want to know it!"
