Answer 1

De vez en cuando / From time to time...

Answer 2

"de vez en cuando" means from time to time or occasionally

Answer 3

Also it's sometimes "de cuando en cuando" or even "de vez en vez". All the variations mean the same thing.

Answer 4

You don't know how much this expression drove me crazy a couple of years ago.

"Of time in when"???!!!! What in the world?

Now it is one of my favorite expressions since it is one of the first Spanish idioms I learned. I throw it into as many conversations as possible (whether it makes sense or not ).
