As a matter of interest, how easy is it for most English-speaking viewers to follow Fr. Matheus’ spoken Latin? A classicist once told me that of all living languages, Portuguese is the one that has remained closest to Latin. I wonder whether that might have a positive impact, in the sense of making Latin words easy to recognize when they’re pronounced the Brazilian way.

I would say that Spanish and Italian have that honor. Portuguese is close, but less close because of the extensive use of nasal vowels. As I speak Portuguese and read it (though not as fluently as Spanish), I'll look forward to checking out his video.

For my own speaking of Latin, I prefer the accent based on Latin American Spanish. I also like listening to the Italianate or Ecclesiastical accent.
