Esta expresión quiere decir estar en la mitad del curso, como se diría en inglés?

We are in the halfway point of the course. How do you like that?

Halfway through the course?
Estamos a mediación del curso. (sounds better to me)

We're at midpoint of the course. Once you get past the midpoint you can say: we're over the hump.
If the course you are referring to is related to school, you can say:
we are at midterm.

I agree with Poli and Elaina.
We're at midterm.
We're halfway through the course.

What does midterm mean?
And also I need to know the mean of the word halfway.
And if you can give me examples using those words.
I appreciate your help.

These sentences are translations of the sentence in the title of the thread, and are good examples.
We're at midterm.
We're halfway through the course.
What does midterm mean?
And also I need to know the mean of the word halfway.
And if you can give me examples using those words.
I appreciate your help.So, midterm and halfway through the course both mean el ecuador del curso.

Then I can use midterm in this sentence.
I'm midterm Carmen City and Campeche.
Estoy entre ciudad del Carmen y Campeche.
I'm not sure if can use the word Midterm and halfway to say entre. it like with the use of the months, when you need to say the English's class is entre Marzo y Abril.
I appreciate your help.

The word midterm and the phrase halfway through the course are translations of the title in the thread ONLY.
To say that you're located in between two places, you say "I'm halfway between Carmen City and Campeche."

Then needly, I have to use the word halfway to write the last phrase.
Then if I want to say.
I'm between halfway your house and the store. It's correct this way.
I understood of your phrase that I have to use the word halfway or midterm depending of the phrase.

Therefore, I have to use the word halfway to write the last phrase.
Then if I want to say.
I'm halfway between your house and the store. Is it correct this way?
I understood from what you wrote that I have to use the word halfway or midterm depending on the phrase.Corrections above.
Use halfway between, not between halfway.

Regarding a course, you can say: at midterm
Your can use midterm for pregnancy also (mitad del embarazo=midterm pregnancy).

yes but an intensive course of 30 days.
You would say: I'm halfway through the course.

Rusty

Yes, but it's more common to hear "we're halfway through the course."
Some others:
We're over the hump.
We're now on the downhill slide/slope.
