The word order here is good. But what you've said here is "A student studies
history. Kurok." You need to say that Kurok *is* the student who studies
history.
To do this, you could use a to-be sentence, as you've done before. For
example:
{ghojwI' ghaH quraq'e'} "Kurok is a student"
To say that you're a "student who studies history", rather than just a
"student", you can use the verb suffix {-bogh} ("which, who, that").
Adding it to the verb {HaD} ("study"), you would get:
{qun HaDbogh ghojwI'} "a student who studies history" or "history that a
student studies"
Now you would just have to use these two ideas together, and say "Kurok is a
student who studies history"
Some other ways that you could rephrase this idea are:
"I study history" or "I am a student. I study history."
