Basic includes greetings, how to follow directions, cautions and who to contact for emergencies, transportation, basic traffic signs, voting, health information, and so on. We form relationships when we can communicate with each other. Our residents speak over 20 languages in NYC! We can reduce biases and allow us to get to know one another and other cultures. A true WIN-WIN! Use the multiple language mailings/signage to identify topics to cover. And, financially, NYC would see a tremendous upside: reduction in the costs for multi-language paper notifications and significant need for translators. Imagine if each state in the United States of America spoke a different language, what we would NOT accomplish. Basic English is SO important. Resources: use the many translators to initiate the program and there will be many who can teach others plus ZOOM can be recorded... lowest cost for greatest benefit!\n\n</div></dd><dt name=\"text-1695292616659-0\">Write the zipcode that best represents your New York City community:</dt><dd id=\"text-1695292616659-0\" name=\"text\">\n\n<div>10940\n\n</div></dd></dl></xml>"]
