New Yorkers are cosmopolitan folk and will speak to anyone.
There are a lot of French people living in New York so it does not surprise me that the language is spoken there.
We like French because it makes us sound sophisticated
and it sounds melodic.
Bonnee journée, Rosemay.

i grew to become into born in long island and lived there till leaving for college.I doubt that even a million% of the inhabitants speaks any French. basically one in 3 junior extreme and extreme college scholars interior united states of america of america analyze a distant places language, and the type drops to a minimum of one in 10 for scholars. while an American (or any English speaker) chooses to study yet another language he or she has many judgements. while a non-English speaker comes to a decision the study yet another language they're going to virtually continuously % English. Even those individuals who do study a distant places language will in all likelihood no longer % to study French which has little use in each and every day existence or in company.
