Hmm... I would have shortened the first question conversationally to simply "Que hace este verano"... or locally "Que onda" (more of a "what's going on with you" sort of thing.
Este verano estoy trabajando (I'm working this summer). No tengo tiempo para vacacion (I just don't have time for vacation).

Es Espa�a usamos "vacaciones".
Las estructuras m�s comunes son:
"estar de vacaciones"
"tener vacaciones"
La palabra "vacaci�n", en singular, no se usa mucho. Bueno, creo que no se usa... �nada! :-)

Or... "A lot of years ago"??

Here's a fairly decent breakdown of the differences in usage between para and por.

�500 fotos! �2000 fotos!
�Son muchas fotos! :-)
(Oh, by the way, "foto" is one of those words that seems to be masculine, but in fact it is just an abreviation for "fotograf�a", which is feminine, so "foto" is also feminine.) (Las fotos)
Sobre mi ciudad, hay muchas,muchas cosas m�s para ver aqu�. �Quiz�s la pr�xima vez? :-)
(About my city, there are many, many more things to see here. Maybe next time?)

PD: Si me permites, una cosita muy importante: En espa�ol, "programa" es una palabra de g�nero masculino, aunque termine con la letra -a. "El programa" ;-)

Thanks! Yet another one I tend to mix up. But that's common among English speakers, it is just a question of practice. There are other similar words like: el tema, el dilema, el anagrama, el teorema... ;-)

Hola Angie,La noche otra, en la programma, Sofia dice, "...me quiere..." (Yo dir�a [I'd say] "La otra noche..." �Ah! Tambi�n, recuerda que es "el programa", no "la programa")...he wants me..... Yo no entiendo el resto de la frase. �Bueno! �No hay problema! Poco a poco entender�s m�s palabras, no te preocupes. :-)Tambi�n, �qu� es la deferencia entender y comprender? �Cu�l es la diferencia entre estos dos verbos? Encontr� una respuesta en un foro que puede ayudar: [I found an answer in a forum that may help:]
entender / comprender - Notes in Spanish Forum
I'm talking about the answer starting: "Here's my take on ense�ar, mostrar: ..." (Note the answer is about 2 different questions: ense�ar / mostrar and entender / comprender. �Com� se dice 'between' between entender y comprender Es: "entre entender y comprender".�Espero que esto ayude! (Hope it helps!)
