Hello dear hardworkers!

Voici un nouvel appel à l'aide de la part de "my poor Student" qui a, encore une fois, besoin d'un petit coup de pouce... Le pauvre a, selon lui, "fait tout son possible", mais a tout de même laissé 12 fautes ... Pourriez-vous l'aider à les corriger ? (en lettres capitales, please ! Je n'ose plus dire que le texte est court (et "assez facile" ... )
Un grand merci !

Ce texte contient 12 fautes ! (and some of them have been repeated all along the text! )

A lot of Latinos and Mexicans don’t speak Spanish.

Dear Here4U
I'm aware that I'm not at all sure about the correction or non-correction of a few sentences, but a little war weary (de guerre lasse) after a lot of questioning, I decided to send this correction

READY TO BE CORRECTED

A lot of Latinos and Mexicans don’t speak Spanish. They think they are «really OR A REAL Mexican» and «really OR A REAL »Latino anyway because it’s a lot about A COMMITMENT to the community, A COMMITMENT to a culture, and how you BEAR IT IN MIND and pass it ON A Latino rapper wrote «Tongue Troubles» by shame and embarrassment. At a certain point OR TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, he didn’t know what to do with all these feelings he had ABOUT his ability – or inability – to speak Spanish.

She taught at an adult English school, and thought that his father was very witty and a good dancer. His mother built a relationship with his brother speaking English.///END of PART ONE///

It’s not easy for a mother TO CHANGE the language she SPOKE to her child. She just continued speaking English to his brother.

Hello Here4U
I'm sorry, I found this text too hard: there are many parts that I didn't understand. It's giving me headaches... Too bad. Thanks anyway

Too hard??? Really??? If so, I'm really sorry!

Remember you can concentrate on ONE PART ONLY, if you think it's really too difficult and/or time/ energy consuming... I really don't want to put you off!

Dur à traduire en tout cas ..

Ohhhh Dear! ... 6 stars now? I'm ever so sorry I seem to have misjudged the difficulty of the exercise...

What can I do to help? Nothing much, I'm afraid...

Be reassured (if possible!) I have finished preparing the following RYB, and (completely traumatised as I am... ) temporarily changed the concept totally, just to give you some brief relief and the possibility to "pick and choose" depending on your wishes and availabilities of the moment... Sorry again!

Hello!
Je vais me risquer à traduire le 2e paragraphe...

Part II:
It’s not easy for a mother to change the language she’s speaking to her child in. She just continued speaking in English to his brother. Simultaneously, his father was then in a pressured position to learn English as well. So there was a lot of English happening in the household and then, when he was born, English became the dominant spoken language in their household, which kind of « sucked ». He thinks a lot of people have shame in private. The language, he thinks, is like an immediate identifier of a person’s authenticity as a Latino. He was often told – «Oh, you’re not a real Mexican if you can’t do this or if you can’t speak Spanish, if you can’t dance…» You stumble through the awkwardness. You go through it. You have to ask how you say this.

Il n'est pas facile pour une mère de changer la langue dans laquelle elle parle à son enfant. Elle a simplement continué à parler en anglais à son frère. Dans le même temps, son père était alors poussé à apprendre l'anglais également. Il y avait donc beaucoup d'anglais dans le foyer et puis, à sa naissance, l'anglais devint la langue orale dominante dans leur foyer, ce qui "craignait" un peu. Il pense que beaucoup de gens ont honte en privé. Le langage, selon lui, est comme une marqueur immédiat de l'authenticité d'une personne en tant que latino. On lui a souvent dit : "Oh, tu n'es pas un vrai mexicain si tu ne sais pas faire ceci ou si tu ne sais pas parler espagnol, si tu ne sais pas danser...." Vous traversez la gêne en trébuchant. Vous passez par là. Vous devez demander comment on dit ceci.

Ces passages incessants et brutaux entre le passé et le présent me mettent mal à l'aise et j'ai du mal à suivre...
