This episode explores how the United States has become the world’s second-largest Spanish-speaking country, with more than 60 million speakers. We examine the generational challenges that threaten language retention, the cultural revival driven by media figures and rising Hispanic university enrollment, and the expansion of bilingual education programs. Far from being a foreign language, Spanish is increasingly seen as a lasting and integral part of America’s national identity.
