Can someone correct my plenty mistakes LOL

actually what you wrote is very good!

I would add 'ois tzu lernen far meine'
lazy = fohl

It's not "oif shabbes" but shabbes!

During shabbes would be beshaas shabbes, but in your sentece, it would be "er redt Yiddish Shabbes mit Mati".

Isn't b'shass LK?

During can also be 'im.'

If you mean your DH, then that's 'mahn.'

Balabus is used as 'boss' not as 'head of household' these days. Very Happy
