Welcome to Voices of the City Podcast! Today we will be discussing how languages shape identity, community, and culture, right here in New York City! The host of todays podcast will be Allison, along with special guests Charlotte and Arianna. Through growing up in New York we have experienced the typical "New Yorker" accent and have seen how different cultures impact the way individuals speak and pronounce words. New York City has always been coined as a "melting pot" with the diverse mix of different cultures and languages coming together. Our podcast will delve into multilingualism and its aspects from the experience of growing up here in New York!
