Pros
- The narrator is saying お話しします. お〜する is an example of humble speech. See here: https://bunpro.jp/grammar_points/%E3%81%8A-%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B
- It's similar to [this grammar](http://bunpro.jp/grammar_points/%E3%81%A6%E3%81%AF%E3%81%84%E3%82%89%E3%82%8C%E3%81%AA%E3%81%84) + なんか in the middle

- https://bunpro.jp/grammar_points/%E3%81%8A-%E3%81%AB%E3%81%AA%E3%82%8B TLDR: お～になる means the same thing as ～する

Parent context: Would you happen to have examples of any of these innavuracies you've seen in Bunpro? I'm currently using it as my primary grammar resource and just recently finished the N3 section of grammar Reply: Saying that とく is "not excessively common in conversation" is an insane take. It's probably one of the most common ways to say it, compared to the full uncontracted ておく form.
Then they started adding their own explanations and those are full of mistakes, whacko theories, stuff that is just straight up confusing/wrong, and overall is just bad. Which is a huge shame. I'd say the platform is still worth it as a lot of the content is still good, but when studying on it one should just use it for SRS and read the "superficial" grammar explanation.
I personally do not dislike it and I learned grammar through it and it helped me a lot, but recently (in the last ~2 years or so) they have been writing their own "in depth" grammar explanations and I'd say a good 50-60% of their cultural notes, fun facts, etymology references, etc are just pure bullshit.

they have a lot of inaccuracies and misconceptions that can be a bit sketchy, especially to new learners... They can be very hardheaded when facing feedback... in general I still appreciate what bunpro does as a platform and I still recommend it, but not as much as I used to in the past.
Some of their grammar explanations are a bit... sus. ... Nowadays they decided to re-write all their explanations themselves and while the basic of the grammar point they try to teach you are correct, they have a lot of inaccuracies and misconceptions that can be a bit sketchy, especially to new learners. This said, I still think the platform is great and incredibly useful, just don't go too "deep" into the grammar explanations.

Personally I liked it but 3 SRS is a lot. You can always download the app and use the free features of it, like looking up grammar. Good grammar dictionary.
