the fastest easiest and most fun way to learn English hey everyone

Gina here in this series we're going to learn some easy ways to ask and answer

common questions in English it's really useful and it only takes three minutes

in this lesson you're going to learn how to ask what someone's hobbies are

without using the word hobbies you've probably seen the question do you have

any hobbies or what are your hobbies in an English textbook before

however native English speakers almost never use the word hobbies when asking

about them a much more natural way to ask the same question is what do you do

for fun what do you do for fun you can also ask what do you do in your spare

time what do you do in your spare time so how would you answer this question

let's look at how native speakers would do it the easiest way is to say I like

to or just I like followed by what you like to do for example if you like

watching films you could say I like to watch films or I like watching films I

like to watch films all I like watching films and if you like golf you could say

I like to play golf or I like playing golf I like to play golf

all I like playing golf you can emphasize how much you like your hobby

by adding a word like really in front of like for example I really like watching

films on the other hand if you want to play down how much you like something

you can say kind of for example I kind of like playing tennis now it's time for

Gina's tips if you don't have any special hobbies or you don't want to be

time with my friends and stuff like that I like spending time with my friends and
