Congratulations, you fixed almost all of the problems. The main issue that remains is that pesky accusative case.
Have you had a look at the explanation that zenmonkey recommended?

If you really want to learn this, I think it would be useful to do some specific exercises to drill accusative endings and maybe masculine/feminine/neuter endings in general. It may be not as much fun as other activities but it's worth to really understand it because you will encounter a lot of German verbs that require the accusative case.

This page looks pretty good but it's not really aimed at beginners. The vocabulary is too complex and some of the words are not exactly common in everyday language. I'm sure other German learners can recommend something similar that's more suitable for your level if you ask in the forum.
