My textbook has this sentence.
我这个“老外”这么喜欢看京剧，老师当然感到很惊讶。
I notice it has a a bit different structure.
我这个“老外”这么喜欢看京剧 = I,a foreigner, really like watch Peking Opera = Subject + Subject description + Do something.
So can I make any statements with this structure?
E.g: 我妹妹，一个漂亮的女孩，很喜欢买衣服。 他爸爸，一个老师，教我学书法。
Yes, Subject + Subject description + Do something is understandable to me.
And if you could use some conjunctions based on the scenario, then the sentence would be more beautiful.
For example, His father, a P.E teacher, but teaches me for handwriting. 他爸爸，一位体育老师，但是却能教我书法。
Hope it helps :)
You can. And people can understand what you me. When I read from left to right 我妹妹，一個漂亮的女孩 I can understand 一個漂亮的女孩 is used to describe 我妹妹 since the context and only ， between them.
I think if you want to make it more clear, you can use 是個 or 是一個 to substitute 一個 because it help to link them together. 是 is used to denote things that is other things. So A is B in traditional Chinese is A是B. So you use 是 or 是一個 can help to link 我妹妹 with 漂亮的女孩 and 他爸爸 with 一個老師 together.
