Hi, everyone!! Today, we're going to talk about
So, Yuki, when you're in English class in Japan, what do you learn about hobbies?
We learn to ask like:
"What's your hobby?" Does anyone say that?
That's like, you only have one hobby and it must exist. And you're asking what it is.
What are your hobbies?
Whatever, fine. We say in America:
So Yuki, what do you do for fun?
Umm... I do... listening to music.
I like eating! I like sleeping too!
I like YouTube. I love watching videos on YouTube.
Okay......... Those aren't really the hobbies so much.
Listening to music is maybe okay. It's something you kind of do. If you listen to a lot of music, okay.
But eating and sleeping? Everyone eats and sleeps!
-But I like it... -Yeah everyone likes it, it's what we do to live.
Those aren't hobbies.
YouTube..... maybe. But it sounds more like just wasting time.
-Oh... -Hobby is more like something you DO with your time.
The focus, the point! Ask me.
Okay. What do you do for fun?
I like computer games, I like reading books,
I like walking and jogging, and I like learning Japanese. That's fun for me.
Okay, then, I like speaking English! That's fun ^^
-Speaking Engl.... Learning English (is okay). -Okay. I like learning English.
Okay. What else? What do you do for fun?
-For fun? -Do For Fun!!!
I like watching movies... to learn English.
Okay, I guess that kind of works. What else? What do you DO~~~???
FOR FUN~~??
-I play the guitar. -She plays the guitar!
-A little bit. -That's a hobby.
Learning and playing instruments is a hobby. Someday it could become a job!
Probably not.
Okay, so I have one question: Is there any other way to say "What's your hobby?"
Well, first there was the:
There's also:
It's kind of the same meaning. You have extra time, what do you do to fill the time?
-Okay. -That's another way to ask.
So if you hear people saying that, then that means they want to know your hobbies.
And remember, eating and sleeping are NOT hobbies.
