Asegura que para que
Is this sentence correct?
X asegura que para que una lengua minoritaria sobreviva, son necesarias ciertas condiciones: X assures that for a minority language to survive, certain conditions are necessary: I'm not sure about that "for". Thanks. |

X assures that in order for a minority language to survive, certain conditions are necessary: I think I would insert that, just for emphasis, but perhaps this is just personal choice, or a need to find something to criticize. |

Having said that, I might use -ise in future so I don't have to explain it all again. |

Don't worry, you can use -ize. I asked because once I opened a thread with that question. Well, I'll try to study these words. Thanks.
