Today, Aida and I are going to speak slowly about...
The hobbies.
Let's go!
I finally have holidays. I have a lot of free time.
And what do you do in your free time?
In my free time, I like to play the guitar.
Oh, the guitar! And how long have you been playing the guitar?
I've been playing the guitar for six years, more or less.
Wow, so you're a professional. And your neighbours? Are they happy?
I'm not a professional. That's why my neighbours aren't very happy.
But they understand. Do you like music?
Yes, I like it a lot.
The truth is that I'm not used to listening to a lot of music.
I prefer listening to podcasts. Do you like podcasts?
Yes, I like them, but only the Easy Spanish ones.
In your free time, do you like to do something connected to music?
Well, look, the truth is that I used to.
About 15 years ago, I started playing the clarinet.
Oh, me too! Do you play the clarinet now?
The truth is that no. I haven't played the clarinet for about three years,
but I wouldn't mind taking up this hobby again.
And in your free time, what do you like to do?
Let's see. I like to do a lot of things, but to be honest, I don't always have time.
I like to cook a lot. I like to prepare very basic recipes.
Some vegetables on the grill, for example.
And sometimes, when I'm more creative, I like to try new recipes.
Ah, very good. A very interesting hobby. Also for your friends.
Are you asking me to invite you? I can invite you to dinner one day, if you want.
I think it's very good. And how often do you do this hobby?
Less than I'd like to. I'd say two or three times a week.
And when you don't cook, what do you do? How do you eat?
No, it's just that when I cook, I try to cook more times.
I mean, I try to prepare bigger dishes, more quantity, and with this, I eat a couple of days.
And you? Do you cook?
I cook, but I cook badly. My hobby is to eat, but sometimes I cook.
What do you prefer, to cook or to eat?
Well, if you put it like that, I'll choose to eat, of course.
It's always good to try new things, and in the end, when someone cooks for you,
this food always tastes better, it's always tastier, right?
I agree. That's why I want to try your food, Aida.
Learning Spanish is your hobby? Well, now you can practice with us.
Of course. In addition, from Monday to Friday, every day, we have a conversation session for our members.
In addition, the Tuesday session is specific for beginners.
In these sessions, we speak slowly and on simple topics, like this one.
And now, for the first time, you have a free week to try.
You can find all the information in the link in the description.
And do you have more hobbies?
Yes, I like, in general, to walk, to walk, and if I have more time, I like to go on excursions, to go hiking in the mountains.
I think it's an interesting hobby, because you relax, you're away from the screens, and that's it, you get some fresh air.
Do you like to do any kind of sport or physical activity?
Oh yes, I love sports. I love going to the mountains, with nature, but I also like to do team sports.
Oh, like what?
For example, I like ping pong, or I also really like Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Wow, we just found out that this was a hobby we had in common.
Yes, we are martial artists.
Well, I rectify, I was a martial artist, I practiced this sport for a while, but I don't practice it anymore.
Are there activities that you practiced in the past and that you don't do anymore?
Yes, I used to play football, but now I almost never play football. And you?
You know what? I also played football, but for a very short time, because I realized that my feet don't work, I don't coordinate.
And I saw that this was not my way.
We have a lot in common. I think Aida is copying my answers.
We are almost brothers of hobbies.
And you, David? Is there a hobby you want to start in the future?
Yes, I would like to learn to dance. I really like to dance, but I don't know.
And would you like to dance a specific style?
No, but I really like salsa, cumbia, but it's very difficult because I don't have a rhythm.
Well, they say that these things can be practiced, right?
Yes, I always practice at the bar or at the disco, but I'm not very good.
But I would like to take classes. Do you like to dance?
I don't really like to dance. I'm not very good at it. But there are other things that I do want to learn.
Like, for example, I would love to paint with watercolors.
Do you like to paint paintings?
No, I don't paint paintings, but I really enjoy painting. I would love to be able to paint paintings.
And do you know how to draw?
I'm good at drawing, but I've never taken classes seriously. And that would be good.
And would you like to take another type of classes or learn other hobbies?
Yes, of course. I would like to learn another language.
Yes, I was thinking about French or Arabic, two very different languages.
You want to learn French and Arabic. Do you know that there is a perfect YouTube channel to learn these languages?
Yes, I know. Easy Arabic and Easy French. I just have to go to those channels and get the hang of it.
Yes, it's a very good idea. They are good resources.
Definitely. And are there other activities that you would like to do in your free time?
Yes, I think so. I really like surfing. It's very interesting, but I don't know how to surf. I want to learn.
Well, there's always a first time.
Yes, maybe this summer I can learn how to surf. Aida, do you know how to surf?
No, I tried it a couple of times and that's all.
Ah, so you know a little bit about surfing.
I tried it for a couple of hours, yes.
Two hours. I need a lot of hours to learn.
Very good. Well, now I know a lot about your hobbies.
Yes, now we know that we have a lot of hobbies in common. Maybe one day we can do something together.
Very good idea. We have to surf together.
I'm in.
Are we going to practice a hobby? For example, walking?
We are going to walk for a while, yes.
And now it's your turn. Write in the comments, slowly, what your hobby is.
