Well, I totally forgot to translate the passage to English! Along with translating the passage into the English language, I am also going to translate the questions. What I want you to do is answer the questions in English and try your very best to translate them into Spanish yourself. Then post it here so I can correct your translation if needed. This is a slightly longer process, but it is also more efficient and easy process. "I am Omar Santos. I am from Costa Rica. I like to live in Costa Rica because it is a very beautiful place. It is not very big, but there are many beautiful places in the country. I like to go see Poas Volcano. I also like to go to pretty beaches where I can swim and get a tan. My family and I have dark-colored skin and we are not ugly. My friend John, is from the United States. He speaks Spanish very well and naturally speaks English. He is very smart. I am also a smart man and I work a lot." 1. Where is Omar Santos from? 2. What is Costa Rica like? 3. What is Omar like? 4. What is Omar's United States Friend like? 5. What is this friend's name?

¿Cómo es Omar? doesn't that mean "how is Omar?"

No, it doesn't. I means, "What is Omar like?" "How is Omar", ahem, "How is Omar doing?" translates to "Como ESTA Omar?"
