Hmm... I don't understand this sentence  A question about which.. dark(?) japanese... but I dont know what shimashita means |
It actually means: "How long have you studied Japanese?
Dono kurai or gurai is a question word that means "how long" or "to what extent," etc.
Benkyou shimashita is the past tense form of the verb benkyou shimasu and it means "study."

Ida no Michigan desu ka. Asoko wa dou desu ka.
Ida, Michigan? How is it over there? (this is question is often interpreted as a question regarding the weather or something like that.)
Winter break or vacation is: fuyu yasumi. (fuyu = winter, yasumi = break/vacation. Yasumi is used for any break (natsu yasumi = summer vacation, etc)
My winter break was great - Watashi (Boku) no fuyu yasumi wa totemo yokatta desu.
"yokatta desu" is the past tense form of good (in other words: "it was good"). "Totemo" means "very" and is used only with positive/affirmative sentences. Even though you would be really saying "My winter break was really/very good," it can easily and usually is interpreted as "it was great."
