No....he speaks rich boy NYC. I speak NY proper but can slip into my Bronx Fugetaboutit, if I need to.
3 of my Grandparents grew up speaking Italian at home as very young children. My parents were not spoken to in anything but English in the home as “we're in America...we speak English” and they only heard Italian when their grandparents were around.
Every once in a while my grandparents friends came over and tried speaking to me in Italian. I was totally dumbfounded. Though I can curse and order food in an Italian restaurant in pretty good Italian pronunciation.
Keep some of your culture if you must.....BUT SPEAK ENGLISH!
I’m second generation American by way of Sicily. I started to pick up some of the lingo when I was a very young boy from my aged Grandfather.
My Grandmother came down on me like a hawk.
‘We’re in America now! Speak English!’
This was in 1954 when I was nine years old.
