You can read more about some of of the expressions that you can find in the quizlet set of flashcards:
¿Cuánto tiempo piensas estar aquí?: how long are you going to stay here?
Note that this is a verbal expression that is more or less equivalent to the near future tense ´voy a + infinitive´. It is formed with the verb ´pensar´ (to think) in the present tense and the infinitive of the main verb.
Example: Este trimestre pienso estudiar mucho
This term I´m going to study hard
It´s often used to convey a commitment we make or an idea we most definitely want to do, like a resolution.
You can still use ´voy a + infinitive´ in the same instances:
Este trimestre voy a estudiar mucho.
¡A ver si hay suerte!:
This is a colloquial way of saying ´¡Buena suerte!´ (good luck). Literally, it translates as ´let´s see if there´s luck´ but when we say it we are clearly wishing for luck. Rather than ´let´s see if there´s luck´ we´re saying ´I hope there will be luck.´
¿A qué te dedicas?:
Another way of asking ´¿cuál es tu profesión?´ It literally means ´what do you devote yourself to?´, as in ´what do you do for a living?´
It´s a reflexive verb: yo me dedico a, tú te dedicas a...
However, to answer this question we can simply state our profession with ´soy´.
Example: soy profesora.
Me cuesta:
Another verb like ´gustar´.
We need to use the ´me´ pronoun before the verb and the verb is in the third person singular or plural:
Example: me cuesta leer me cuestan los exámenes
(I find reading hard) (I find exams hard)
(reading is hard for me) (Exams are hard for me)
The verb literally means ´to cost´ but it refers to how hard we find something, how hard it costs us (in a metaphorical sense).

Filología inglesa:
This is more or less equivalent to a British ´English degree´ but it is much more thorough in that it combines literature, grammar, linguistics, translation, culture and history of the English-speaking countries. It´s the study of the language from multiple perspectives.
