No Way, Jose
This morning I listened my favorite radio magazine on Spanish public radiobroadcast channel (RNE), a programme called "no es un dia cualquiera" ("it is not a current day"). I often do it every weekend while I have breakfast. I love listening it because topics covered are really interesting for me. Organized on several sections, music, history or other cultural area are included, but handled with a fun way. In particular, I appreciate one related to how to say certain popular Spanish sentences in English, such as idioms as well as catchphrases, most them with a funny and nosense translation. In this case, they were talking about "ni hablar del peluquin", with could be literally translate like "no talk about hairpiece", obviously an absurd sentence. This section works challenging to a very popular english teacher called Mr. Richard Vaughan to find a accurate sentence to mean what we do it in Spanish. According to him "No way, Jose" would be fine. Anyway, it is fun that literally translating this sentence to Spanish, it is sound for us as a no sense sentence too.

[2] Grammatically it is fine but there is no need to mention 'often' if you do it every weekend or there is no need to mention 'every' if you do it often on weekends
Well written, I had no problem in understanding anything.

I've never heard that expression before!
Remember that in English, fun = divertido and funny = chistoso/gracioso. Going to Disneyland is fun, but a comedian is funny. :)
You used a wide variety of vocabulary, which is excellent. I know that in Spanish, people tend to avoid re-using the same words and phrases (for example, not saying "This morning" twice), but in English we tend to repeat phrases more often, if it sounds more natural than using synonyms or synonymous phrases.
I hope that's helpful. :)
