Introduction to Hobbies

Hobbies are activities we enjoy doing in our free time. They can be sports, arts, music, or anything we are passionate about.

Expressing Likes and Dislikes

In French, to express likes, we use 'j'aime' (I like) and to express dislikes, we use 'je n'aime pas' (I don't like).

Describing Hobbies in French

To describe hobbies, we use phrases like 'Je joue au football' (I play football) or 'Je lis des livres' (I read books).

Asking About Hobbies (Informal)

To ask someone informally about their hobbies, you can say 'Quels sont tes hobbies?' (What are your hobbies?)

Asking About Hobbies (Formal)

When addressing someone formally, you can ask 'Quels sont vos hobbies?' (What are your hobbies?)
