My Latin Language Cover of Adele's "Hello" is nearing 100,000 Views!

UPDATE: It's 6:45PM on Wednesday, 3/22. The view count has reached 99,844! It's going to happen this week!

It happened! On Thursday at 4:30PM it crossed the mark!

Latin language enthusiasts rejoice! The view count on my Latin language cover version of Adele's "Hello" is, at the time of this writing (Sunday, 3/19, 9:00PM), 99,264.

Maybe it will pass the 100,000 mark during this week of March 19 to March 25? I will post an update if it does.

I thank everyone who supported this video. Even though it was slighted in the contest itself (despite receiving more views than all other entries combined), it showed the vitality of the Latin language community.

While this is certainly my most successful video, I have others that are continuing to enjoy relative popularity.

For instance, my music video for my Latin version of "Jingle Bells" currently has 72,542 views.

My video about my mathematical interpretation of the Tartaria Tablets currently has 52,650 views.

I will admit, however, that a significant number of those views may be related to a flame war that went on in the comments section between Romanians and Hungarians!

And I am happy to report that my Latin language Youtube Channel (which hosts my tutorial videos) has received, to date, 241,782 views.

Even so, I am eagerly watching for the Adele video to cross that 100K mark!

Watch and share to help hasten this milestone!

In Saecula Saeculorum, the 4th Novel in the Valquist Series

In this fourth novel of the Valquist Series, Andrew Valquist is retired (?) from the National Security Agency and teaching Latin at a Classical Academy in the Washington DC area. But in the world of espionage, looks can be deceiving. He's not necessarily happy with the role he has played in all this, but the school was actually a joint NSA/MI-6 Project in which four young people have been unwittingly prepared for a mission to travel back in time to ancient Rome to retrieve information from a library that may save the modern world from certain destruction. They know they have to at least try to save humanity, but can they also save each other?

Next Stop: Spanish, the 3rd Novel in the Valquist Series

This third novel in the Valquist Series can be read as an espionage action-adventure in its own right, but also you can use it as a way to either brush up on your Spanish or learn functional Spanish for the first time! John Valquist needs to learn Spanish. But he's in luck, since his uncle Andrew is a language expert and a former (?) spy who is taking him on a vacation to Spain so he can study the language. In Next Stop: Spanish, you have the chance to see and study the words John studies, and then watch him add more and more Spanish into his dialogue as the story progresses. During this vacation, they get pulled into espionage intrigue (why do these things always happen to the Valquist family?). In the dramatic conclusion, John will need to put together everything he has learned to save his uncle!

Amor Vincit Omnia: the 2nd Novel in the Valquist Series

In this second novel of the Valquist Series, Keith Massey takes you into the halls of the National Security Agency, where he himself worked for four years after 9/11 and an Arabic linguist. You follow our hero Andrew Valquist, as he starts work as a new recruit at the NSA. Little does he know that on his first on the job, he's about to fly off on an unexpected overseas assignment. He'll be even more surprised when he learns that his background in ancient Latin will be crucial to the mission!
