If I wanted to say "there are two weeks left of school" would I use the verb faltar or dejar?

You'd use "faltar," i.e., faltan dos semanas....

Besides what Marianne has mentioned, you might also be able to use queda:
Queda dos semanas para que se acabe la escuela

I do not think that either of them would work here. Faltar is to be lacking in something and dejar to leave something behind. You could say "Todavia hay dos semanas de escuela."

Your assumption is word-for-word translation. Marianne is correct. - 005faa61, Dec 6, 2009
