If I was an immigrant in America, I think that could be difficult to adapt to this new culture. French people don’t share the same objective and culture. We are not outgoing or don’t speak a lot, so American way of life could be interpret like rude. We give priority to healthy and good food unlike American. Moreover we have the same religious feast or almost and they are a lot of catholic too. However the language could be the most difficult barrier for French people and could be difficult to open your mind to other citizens.
I think it’s easier for foreign people to stay together because they share the same point of view or culture. But for the new generation, they want to open their mind to the American values because they elevated with American people.

I never think of the French as being people who don't talk! Language *is* the hardest part of being in a new culture. I do think that it is true that younger generations of immigrants steer more towards American ideas.
