does it mean rather ''i am visiting'' like future tense sense like ''i am visiting my family this august'' or ''i visit my family in august'' like ''i have vacation in august every year and i visit my family during it''?
I guess you're asking why "W" instead of "We". Well, "We" is used when the next word starts with "W" or "F" (and in some special cases).
To specify: W/F + another consonant, it's not enough for the word to just start with W/F.
Normally it is aceptable to say "...visit with my family", and while the word "with" can be chosen here, the input is not accepted by duolingo.
To my surprise, it seems to be used in English that way... ok, added then.
In English: 'visit with' means 'to chat with'. 'To visit' means to go to someone's home.
I wrote in English = In August i visit my parents. That exactly what in says in polish . Why is that wrong :/ :)
"rodzinę" is family. the word you are thinking of is "rodzice" (parents).
Could this sentence still mean "I visit my family in August" if you drop the "moją" and say "W sierpniu odwiedzam rodzinę" ?
Yes, anyone would assume you visit your own family, and if it was someone else's family, then you'd specify it.
The audio plays on my side. It is also not a new sentence (this is the main reason for audio missing sometimes), so I would hope it was just a temporary problem.
