It is created by the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs and The City University of New York. Previously known as We Are New York, its purpose is to help adult immigrants, for whom English is a second language, to improve their understanding of English by watching the series, and also to learn about their rights to city and community services.[1] In May 2018, the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs launched the second season of We Speak NYC.[2] Cast and charactersSeason 1Regular cast{{div col|colwidth=}}

The 10-episode comedic drama is based on true-to-life stories of immigrants making their way in New York City. Each episode provides useful information on essential City services and shows how people working across ethnic lines can access resources and solve common problems.[3]Immigrants learning English have found the show especially helpful because the production values (e.g., actors speaking clearly and slowly directly into the camera; repetition of key vocabulary; subtitles in six languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, English, Russian and Spanish etc., make the content accessible in ways unlike any other English-language TV show. Viewers want to watch the show because they can understand the English, the storyline is filled with topics that are relevant to their everyday lives, and the cast reflects the demographics of the City's immigrant population. The working class immigrant heroes of We Speak NYC contend with asthma and diabetes; they find ways to support their children's education and prevent teenagers from dropping out; and they figure out the banking system.[4]{{Episode table|background=#465C61|overall=|title=|director=|writer=|airdate=|released=y|episodes={{Episode list |EpisodeNumber = 1 |Title = New Life Café |DirectedBy = José Luis Orbegozo |WrittenBy = David Hellman, Sandy Poster & Kayhan Irani |OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|2009|6|27}} |ShortSummary = Rosa is a chef whose dream is to open a new café in Washington Heights.

Mayor Bill de Blasio praised the series and its unique mission. "Effective English learning programs like We Speak NYC open new doors for New Yorkers," said Mayor Bill de Blasio. "Though we are a city that proudly speaks over 150 languages, many residents want to improve their English language skills, and we want to meet them with the tools to do it. Empowering immigrant communities with the skills and knowledge to take advantage of more opportunities is how we make the ultimate city of immigrants an even better place for all of our residents."[6] References1. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.metro.us/news/local-news/new-york/nyc-unveils-new-season-we-speak-nyc|title=City launches new season of We Speak NYC English language learning program|date=2018-05-10|work=Metro US|access-date=2018-05-11|language=en}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=https://voicesofny.org/2018/05/we-speak-nyc-second-season-of-ell-program-launches/|title=– ‘We Speak NYC’ – Second Season of ELL Program Launches|website=voicesofny.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-05-12}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/weareny/html/about/about.shtml|title=We Are NY - About Us|website=www.nyc.gov|access-date=2018-05-12}} 4. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/weareny/html/about/about.shtml|title=We Are NY - About Us|website=www.nyc.gov|access-date=2018-05-12}} 5. ^{{Cite news|url=https://voicesofny.org/2018/05/we-speak-nyc-second-season-of-ell-program-launches/|title=‘We Speak NYC’ – Second Season of ELL Program Launches|last=PENNAR|first=KAREN|date=May 10, 2018|work=Voices of NY|access-date=}} 6. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.metro.us/news/local-news/new-york/nyc-unveils-new-season-we-speak-nyc|title=City launches new season of We Speak NYC English language learning program|date=2018-05-10|work=Metro US|access-date=2018-05-12|language=en}} External links
