Hola,

This lesson is clear in distinguishing the Futuro Próximo, but is there a reason why none of the translations offered use the variation "I am going to buy a house.... / They are going to have a meal tonight.... etc.?

These would be common ways of expressing future arrangements in English, and happily distinguish it very clearly from the present progressive "I am buying a house" which doesn't quite capture the idea of a future arrangement. 

Is there some distinction that I'm not aware of?

Saludos. John

I'm confused by the translation of ¡Que me ensucias la camisa! (You will get my shirt dirty). Can the following structures be translated similarly (e.g., you will get my shirt dirty).  

¡Que ensucias la camisa mia! o ¡Que ensucias la camisa de mi!

Gracias por todo.

I thought Que tal?was an informal greeting.  Given as a correct form in your answers whe greeting an elderly man.

Hello

I do not understand why you use « la » in this sentence?

Se la estamos decorando.
We are decorating it for him.

Why is cantor translated to PLAY instead of SING in the example?

Hola,

I have not seen this type of construction before which i think translates as "Settling here ........"  Is it just something common in Spanish that we learn as we go along or is there a lesson about it?

Another point .... would it be possible to get translations of the weekly lessons underneath the final transcript when the exercise is finished, so that we can check our understanding?

I know that "no vayamos" is the correct negative command for "ir"; but I was under the impression, and my Barron's verb book confirms, that the correct affirmative imperative for "ir" is "vamos" not "vayamos".
