Hobbies
Activity 1
Can you remember learning about likes and dislikes last week? It’ll be very useful to remember those words for this topic!
Watch the video and during ‘Hablo español’ listen out for the words about hobbies. Here’s what to look out for:
Me gusta jugar (I like playing)
Me gusta cantar (I like singing)
Me gusta pintar (I like painting)
Me gusta bailar (I like dancing)
Do you remember the phrase ‘Me gusta’ from last week? Why don’t you try singing along?
Once you’ve watched the rest of the video, practise saying what your hobbies are - like Antonio, Lucía and Ana Belén did. Here’s a table to help:
Language in this activity
| Spanish | Pronunciation | English | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bailar | bahylahr | To dance | |
| Cantar | kahntahr | To sing | |
| Pintar | peentahr | To paint | |
| Jugar | huugahr | To play | |
| Me gusta nadar | meh goostah nadahr | I like swimming | |
| Me gusta jugar al tenis | meh goostah huugahr al tehneess | I like playing tennis | |
| Me gusta jugar al fútbol | meh goostah huugahr al fuutboll | I like playing football |
When you’ve practised saying different hobbies, print out the activity sheet and follow the instructions on there. If you don’t have a printer, just copy out and fill in the sheet on some paper. You can draw your own pictures, too.
