Breakdown of Ich mache dasselbe wie immer.

I
wie
as in comparisons
immer

machen
to make; to do
Like English we have two similar verbs: to do (tun) and to make (machen).
However in English it is more common to do things. To make is mainly used in the context of producing something. (cake, homework, chairs...)
In German it is the opposite. We prefer machen for both meanings, and use tun only in certain expressions.

“How do German cases work?”
German has four grammatical cases: nominative (subject), accusative (direct object), dative (indirect object), and genitive (possession). The case determines the form of articles and adjectives. For example, "the dog" is "der Hund" as a subject but "den Hund" as a direct object.
