I'm still battling to find time to work on the websites - but I did manage to get some time this week and looking over the stats, I see that a lot of people have had trouble figuring out how to access the Members Zone. The combination of Joomla and Moodle appears to be too complicated - so I found a much easier membership program that allows people to login and access everything in just 1 click - with the classes still in Moodle, but part of that system instead of Joomla.

I had to reset all passwords for previous members that joined the paid subscription service before today - you'll see that information on the Members Zone page. Please note this does NOT affect the FORUM logins - which is a free service. The Members Zone is a paid service that offers software programs and classes, whereas joining Insta Spanish as a free member just gives you the ability to post on our forum. To post on the forum, for now you'll need to login to the main page at Insta Spanish with your same old login. Other than that you should just find the new system a lot easier to navigate. I'll be attacking the Moodle course next - filling out the Beginning Spanish through Music section. I hope to get a newsletter done this weekend as it's been a while!

I'm sorry to anyone who has emailed in the past week - we went into labor late last week and had the baby this weekend, spent a few days in the hospital, then a few days trying to adjust to life with a toddler and a newborn! I'll be answering emails today, and if there are problems I'll try to solve them as quickly as possible. Thanks so much for your patience during this time.
