A helpful dialog.
French-personne: Êtes-vous américain?
Intrepid explorer: Non, j'habite à New York*.
French-personne: N'est-il pas New York aux Etats-Unis?
Intrepid explorer: Dépend. Vous aiment des Américains?
Your helpful translation:
French-person: Are you American?
Inrepid explorer: No, I live in New York.
French-person: Isn't New York in the United States?
Intrepid explorer: Depends. Do you like Americans?
*This dialog works a lot better if you are from New York. The pretentious cultural elitism just doesn't play as well with other locations like...well everywhere else.
