If 'yes' can I teach my brother to speak proper English?

yes, but the catch is by the time they speak it, a million years has passed and they would resemble humans.

we taught a bunch sign language
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

They tried teaching them at school but they just wanted to pick fleas and sling shit at each other! They're just so badly mannered!

No.  Their vocal cords are different (and located differently) from ours, and so they are unable to make the proper sounds.  If your brain were put into a chimp's body, you would not be able to speak either.

People tried to teach chimps to speak, and when they realized that this was going to be physically impossible, they switched to using sign language.
