I read Introduction to Metaphysics.

Mostly he writes with his own vocabulary that he invents to describe the concepts that he understands. Central is Dasein which is being in German. He seems very interested in thje linguistic history of being -- the Greek word Logos means word, speech, idea, and gathering. This he interpreted as meaning that thinking is the gathering of information into meaningful chunks. He's very interested by the Presocratic metaphysicists, particularly Parmenides and Heraclitus, whose ideas he writes at length about and quite agrees with.

Read the essay "What is Metaphysics?" OP. It helped me a lot.

Heidegger's philosophy is too complex to summarize it in one post. Or rather - every such a summary wouldn't even touch the essence of his thought.
Good introduction you have on German Wikipedia. There is a lot of essays or even videos on YouTube describing his philosophy, but the latter are rather for newbies not those who want into philosophy for serious (I don't know whether you are).
Can't think of any better advice.
