Oh no it's very hard. You go to NYC and spend weeks in barber shops and ethnic restaurants until you hear the fragments of the nearly extinct tongue. Name the language and it is likely spoken in the five boroughs.

This is America!' but I can't understand any of them - even the Puerto Ricans." First thought in my head was 'dude, you're learning English on hard mode'.
