United States Nearly half of all New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home, and almost 25%, or 1.8 million people, are not English proficient. NYC is one of a kind, the lessons learned and best practices developed there can be widely applied across communications contexts, cultural settings, and global workplace settings.
