Latinum has been doing well, despite a whole slew of problems with the mypodcast server – making users have to wait for sometimes up to a minute before an episode would start to play, on a bad day, even worse. Things on the tech front, however, are due to improve, as the company that does the technical work for mypodcast.com is upgrading the hardware that the site runs on.
Despite this, monthly downloads are hovering around 300,000. The number of users keeps increasing, and a large number of people are steadily making their way through the Adler course , and a larger number are using the ancillary materials, such as vocabulary building, and comprehensible input – easy stories in Latin. If all these people complete the course,it will enable them to actually speak Latin – not perfectly, that, like any other language, requires years of practice and effort – but reasonably well. This will radically alter the demographic of Latin speakers worldwide, eventually adding several thousand speakers to the current total of a few hundred.
Here’s hoping mypodcast.com , which lets me host Latinum for free, survives the depression that we all seem to be heading into, and emerges from it stronger and fitter than ever.
