I know a way to make a simple language - add -nx- after every vowel in every word (-n- being a consonant and -x- being a vowel)
or you can add -xn- after every consonant in every word (-n- being a consonant and -x- being a vowel)
Of course, this isn't a full on language bc you must have the words of an actual full on language but this is a cool language thingie that you can make it so nobody understands what you and your friend are talking about.
Also, i used an example of only 2 letters but you can do it with multiple letters, its just that with multiple letters the words are slightly longer.

In my conlang a word that ends in -r- does the dummy -reh- thing. The word for street is -tor-. but it's pronounced -Toh-reh-. it's also a masculine noun. Also I have 11 cases. The original number system was base 20, but it was switched to base 10. as a result numbers 11-19 have entirely unique names.

12: 45 no Japanese and Turkish grammer is similar. we use verb the end of the the sentence and Japanese too. but Turkish pronunciation and supplements in our language are really hard so good luck if you want to learn Turkish

An important detail David forgot to mention is if you use grammatical cases such as nominative and accusative you can use free word order. Very flexible if you want to have a hearty poetic tradition for your culture.

He explained everything except how to create new words. For example, how did he come up with the word for wind in Dothraki? that story would be far more interesting than all this linguistics.

Everything he's saying would be easier to achieve if you are also learning a new language or more. Just observe and study things that already exist. You'd be surprised how much it helps.

12: 48 there is a mistake, japanese and turkish are related to each other, not many people agree with that but they are in the same language family called -altaic languages-
