Latinum Update

A few milestones were passed this week - Firstly, my booklet 'Declensions' has turned out to be the most popular title on the Tar Heel reader website, being over 50% more popular than the next title on the list according to Gary Bishop, who runs the site. It says something, that a dry book on declensions has beaten the Alphabet, Obama, and Lady Gaga!

Here is the list of the most popular titles.

1. Declensions
2. Our First Black President
3. The ABC Book
4. Lady Gaga
5. The ABC Book (yes there are two ABC books at the top of the list)
6. I am Michael Jordan
7. Disney Princesses
8. Three Little Kittens
9. Cupcakes

Secondly, my YouTube Latin course just passed its 200,000th  upload view.

Schola now has 1,746 members, and continues to grow at a steady pace.

Latinum is also still proving popular,with between 3 and 5 thousand file downloads per day. Total downloads since inception in 2007 is well over 7 million.

De Vestibulo Comenii

Paene cotidie emissiones electronicas ausculto latinas quas gratis praebet auditoribus ille industriosissimus et bene in interreti notus iuvenis Britannus cuius nomen Evan der Millner vel Molendarius. Has emissiones vel pod-casts invenietis ad I-Pod vestrum aptatas apud I-Tunes sub titulo "Latinum." Ab variis fontibus deducit locos suos Evan noster, amabilis fautor rerum classicarum et, ut videtur, humanisticarum, nam apud situm eius nuper inveni PDF antigraphum illius libri scholaris nomine "Vestibulum Ianuae Latinitatis" a Johanne Amos Comenio conscripti. Libellus quam pulcher est! Exemplar Molendarii Latinas sententias praebet iuxta sententias hungarice versas, quae Latinae procul dubio erunt utilissimae discipulis linguae archaeograecae, quo sermone hic vertam in usu alumnorum carissimorum.
