Reflection Focusing On My Presentation

I felt like I picked a subject that was too difficult to explain since it is something that not even more U.S. Americans know about or know how to do. I ran out of time and options to pick what I could have the presentation on. It needed to be something that had instructions that someone could follow.
I'm not sure if I tried it again I'd still be able to do it again still.

There needs to be more explanation as to what a Animal Spirit Guide is, what it does and why you should do it at all, but the time of the presentation was only five minutes and I feel like that sort of thing needs more detailed explaining.

I had no idea what else to do about that Americans do that Japan doesn't AND I'd be able to give instructions on how to do so. I really tried my best given the subject, but I need more of a guideline for something to do.

Grammar Explanation
Verb stem + はじめる
This is really simple. Just skin down a verb to its stem (drop ます) and add 始める. Its really just means to start doing a verb. 食べ始めます = Begin to eat.

Nounと言えば
I'm having a harder time understanding this one. So far I understand it is used to continue talking about something as in a "Speaking of which" matter. However, it can also be used to change the subject to a new topic.

~とか
Is used like ~と, ~し, or ~や, but more like ~し or ~や since it can be used to make a non-exhaustive list. However, what I don't understand at all is when I should use this and not や or し, or what does it mean to use とか.
