Hello, again.
I have a doubt about how to express this. I'm looking for the collocations to say this: How are you doing...(about/with/…) (your homework/your activity/your task, etc)? The context is how to ask someone what is the progress of an activity that that person is having so far and you are interested in that. Did I make my point? If not I'll try to explain it better. Thanks.
Hello mc2bav4,
The correct preposition here is with.
How are you doing with... is a common question for, as you say, asking about the progress of an activity or task.

Thanks for clarifying it. Now I feel more confident about asking for that piece of info. Much appreciated as always.
... sorry for the "speaked"
"good to hear from you again" is this sentence correct answering at the phone to a person who we haven't seen or speaked to for a long time?
Hello mancini2,
Yes, that is correct and appropriate in that kind of situation.
Nice to hear from you.
All the best,
