Ahead of Bad Bunny's expected Super Bowl half-time performance entirely in Spanish, fans are rushing to learn the language. This follows the Puerto Rican singer's October "Saturday Night Live" appearance where he encouraged non-Spanish speakers to learn the language. The singer has been outspoken against anti-immigrant policies, even canceling a US tour due to concerns about ICE targeting his fans. The online frenzy includes fans sharing lyrics and Puerto Ricans explaining slang. This anticipation intensified after his album, "Debí Tirar Más Fotos," won a Grammy, where he also voiced his opposition to ICE. Some fans see learning Spanish as a form of protest and a way to connect with and appreciate Latino culture.
