Hola quisiera saber si alguien me puede ayudar con esta frase:
"Esto de verlas sólo los sábados y domingos va a cambiar"
No se como traducir ESTO DE. Entiendo que significa algo así como este tema de que sólo puedo verlas los sábados y domingos va a cambiar, pero no se me ocurre cómo expresarlo.
Gracias!

This habit of seeing them....
"Esto" in this sense means an action that is repeated.
When my wife asks me "¿que es esto de ir al futbol todos los domingos?"
She refers to the action of going to football on sundays has become a habit (and she is challenging the given of that)

you could also add "will turn around" for "va a cambiar"
--------------------------------------------------

"turn around" is a colloquial way of saying " change"

if you don't like "just" you could also say " the thing about (just) seeing them etc. "

"Esto de" is not something that you can translate literally and there are several variations in English that would be acceptable. You will have to take the context of the sentence with the surrounding text into account. Please provide the surrounding sentences if you would like us to give more help with this.
Example sentence:
This custom of seeing them only on Saturdays and Sundays is going to change
This practice of seeing them only on Saturdays and Sundays will change
