Answer 5

Hi, I'm italian and study foreign languages like English and Spanish.

Anyway I'm better at Spanish as I went and lived there for several months. So I am gonna try to translate your sentence:

"Desafortunataménte, la mayoría de mi familia vive lejos de nosotros, así que no le/la veo muy a menudo (como quisiera). Sin embargo hacemos/intentamos lo mejor que podamos para -ir de visita-/-verla(le)- al menos durante los fines de semana"

You can use both "le" o "la", "la" is more grammatically correct in this case, but in the spoken language "le" is more used, most of all in the north of Spain. This use of "le" is called -leísmo-, instead the use of "la" -laísmo- (it's not common), the use of "lo" is -loísmo-. Anyway try to use only "le" if u don't know which pronoun is correct, as "leísmo" is accepted by the Real Academia.

I hope my help was useful. If you need more translations you only have to ask!!!
