@Fluenzteaches - Welcome to the Fluenz family. Great to have you aboard. To answer your questions for the 1 year for the online access, the limit is just the baseline and is not necessarily a hard deadline. After a year, we'll either continue to offer Fluenz Online and the Flashcards for free, or charge a very nominal fee to keep them running. Our goal is not to earn a profit from these features but rather to simply keep them sustainable for all our users.
As for the live instructor, that would be a great idea, but with the large amount of users we have, the resources to implement something like that would be quite involved. There are some options out there where you can pay to learn online with a live tutor via Skype, but it's best to make sure you are working with a certified instructor. I would look into taking some classes in person rather than online. I used to go to the Alliance Française when I was first starting out. Perhaps there is something similar in your area you can find for Spanish. Maybe finding someone who wants to learn English to meet up with a few times a week and you can speak an hour in Spanish and an hour in English. I hope this helps!
Best of luck to you in your Spanish endeavours.
Cheers,
Andy
