Insta Spanish - Virtual Classroom, Forum, and Podcast

We've been working away at the online class for Musical Spanish in the Members Zone - thanks to some help from Antonio in Brazil, we've got quite a few new videos online, and the course is coming along nicely. I'm trying to create videos that help the student as much as possible as they go through the chapter, so that the grammar elements are easier to learn.

If you're a member you should really check it out - we'll be adding all of the quizzes and activities after the teaching videos, but we're plugging away each day so you'll find new stuff up constantly. Afterwards I am going to create an outline of the course with approximate times that it might take the average student to go through the material.

For anybody wondering what the difference is between the Musical Spanish elearning course and the self study one - the difference is that you have sort of a virtual teacher taking you through the material, lesson by lesson. Before each lesson we outline objectives or things to look and listen for - and after you go through the song and lesson pages, you get a lesson recap to make sure you learned the elements. The videos are animated, and hopefully give you a sense that you're not trying to learn all this stuff on your own. The activities and quizzes will both help you reinforce what you've learned, and help you track your progress.

Here's a screenshot of our work in progress:

Hola guys - I'm sorry it's been a few weeks since I've been on the website - I've been taking it pretty easy lately as I'm now in my 3rd trimester, with a baby girl due in mid Sept - and as I had a little trouble w/ my first pregnancy at around this time, I'm being extra cautious and doing a lot of resting (not easy with a 16 month old running around :) It's also summertime in Alaska which means outings to places like Seward this last week - where it was very beautiful but I also managed to get plenty seasick. I see people are wondering about the chat - that is something I can certainly bring back - I'll take a look at which systems are compatible with the upgraded system ok? I also need to get back to work on the courses for the Members Zone - the Paypal trial system should be working just fine now - and the Amazon option will be back shortly. Sorry for the delays but lately I've been lucky to get 1 hr of work in a day. Help in the form of my suegra is arriving shortly, however - and I can get this stuff wrapped up as well as the newsletters started again in time for the "back to school" period in August. I hope you're all enjoying a nice summer!
