Sezvo amai vangu naambuya nasekuru, avo vakabetsera kundirera, vaitaura chiSpanish somutauro wavo waamai, iwowo wakava mutauro wangu waamai kana kuti “waamai”. Ndinotaura, ndinoiverenga, uye ndinoinyora zvakanaka. Mutauro waamai, netsanangudzo, ndiwo mutauro waunosangana nawo kubva pakuzvarwa. Ndakakurira mutaundi duku muMexico ndakanga ndisingaziviwo mutauro weTarahumara. Mutauro weTarahumara mutauro wechiMexican wemhuri yemutauro weUto-Aztecan unotaurwa nevanhu vanosvika zviuru makumi manomwe vechiTarahumara mudunhu reChihuahua, nyika yandakakurira. Ndakasanganawo nechiRungu apo hama dzangu dzaitishanyira kubva kuNyika. Ndaitevedzera ndonyepedzera kutaura Chirungu ndichidzokorora kutaura zvinhu zvakaita se shua shua shua (mutauro wangu wekugadzira), nekuti zvainzwika sechirungu kwandiri. Havana kumbondiruramisa, chiito chemutsa ndinotenda.

Ndakanga ndine makore 11 apo amai vangu vakabvisa ini nomunun’una wangu kubva kuSierra Madre yeChihuahua kuenda kuColorado yakaisvonaka. Ini ndaipokana zvakanyanya neizvi, nekuti ndaizosuwa shamwari dzangu nasekuru nasekuru, asi ndaifarirawo kudzidza Chirungu uye kuona nzvimbo nyowani. Takasvetukira mubhazi rainhuhwa zvakasimba uye maawa 16 gare gare takasvika muDenver, musha wedu mutsva.

Amai vangu vakatidzosa gore tichienda kuchikoro kuti tidzidze kutaura Chirungu nekukurumidza.

Kwapera gore kubva mukubatsirwa nomudzidzisi anotapira, ane mutsa ESL (ChiRungu somutauro wechipiri) uye aardvark inofadza paPBS, hanzvadzi yangu neni takanga tichitaura Chirungu zvakanaka. Mudzidzisi weESL akambonetseka neni. Ndakaramba ndichitaura zvisirizvo vara v; zviri pachena kuti iwe unofanirwa kuita chimwe chinhu nemazino ako nemuromo panguva imwe chete kuti zvisanzwika sebhii b. Kutozosvikira zuva rino ndinotamburira kutaura vara v zvakarurama, kunyange zvazvo ndichiwanzodenhwa kuperetera zita rangu, ndinokurumidza kuti, “v, saVictor,” ndogomera, ndichirangarira nenzira younyoro mudzidzisi wangu weESL.

Ndinoonga zvikuru mukana wokutaura mitauro miviri zvakanaka kwazvo. Kunyangwe kana uropi hwangu huchiwanzo kunetseka kuchinja kubva kune imwe kuenda kune imwe ichindiita kuti nditaure Spanglish, zvakauya zvine mutsindo. Kunzwa kutura befu kunoita munhu muchitoro kana parunhare pandinoti ndinotaura chiSpanish chiitiko chakanaka. Kusangana nemumwe munhu pamutauro wavo zvakare kubatana kwakasiyana. Kunyanya kukosha kwetsika kunobva mukubvunza mumwe munhu kuti ari kuita sei mumutauro wavo wekuzvarwa. Chandinofarira ndechekuti munhu iyeye anondibvunza nekukurumidza sei kuti ndinobva kupi uye ipapo hurukuro inobva yatiza kubva ipapo.

Kutaura mune mimwe mitauro kunze kwechiRungu muUnited States hakugamuchirwi nechido. Handingakwanise kuverenga nguva dzenguva shamwari uye ndanga ndakagara patafura yekudya kwemasikati tichifunga nezvezviri kuitika nehupenyu hwedu murwiyo rwedu rwechiSpanish rwunongosangana nemutorwa, kana dzimwe nguva mubatsiri mushandi achiti “usataure zvisina basa apa, handisi kukunzwisisa, ko kana uri kutaura nezvangu?” Nditende pandinotaura, isu hatisi kutaura pamusoro pako. Tingangove tichitaura chimwe chinhu nezvebvudzi redu, kana chikafu chatinonakidzwa nacho kudya, zviuru zvezvinhu, asi kwete iwe. Kanenge mune yangu ruzivo.

Kune mitauro inopfuura 6,000 XNUMX inotaurwa pasi rose; iva neshungu, shamwari yangu. Tinofanira kudzidza kukudza mitauro yedu chaiyo. Kuziva mutauro wekuzvarwa kwangu kunondizadza rukudzo neuchenjeri kubva kumadzitateguru angu. Kuziva mumwe wemitauro yangu yekuzvarwa ndiyo imwe nzira yekuziva ini pachangu uye nekwandinobva. Mitauro yekuzvarwa inoera uye inobata ruzivo nesimba ramadzitateguru edu. Kuchengetedza mutauro wedu wekuzvarwa ndiko kuchengetedza tsika nenhoroondo.
