Gavin, I just wanna know if this expression is common. I read that "What a pity" means "Que pena". I think that translating some expressions and slangs is the harder thing to me. Because sometimes the translation doesn't make any sense. Thank you. ☆

You are right that "what a pity" is a direct translation of "que pena", but you correct in thinking that it might not be common. It sounds very old.
Instead, say "that's too bad" , "that stinks" , or even more informally, "that sucks" (my Mom would say that that last one is slightly offensive, but nowadays it's pretty common and not even vulgar).
I hope this helps!
