Practice Talking About Hobbies in 他加禄语
Hobbies are the scenario where 他加禄语 learners often shine — you already know your interests, so the conversation is just about translating them. This scenario rehearses the verbs for the most common hobbies (sports, music, reading, cooking, gaming), how to express enthusiasm, and how to ask about someone else's interests. You'll learn the 他加禄语 formula for 'I've been doing X for Y years' and the small-talk extensions that turn 'I like cycling' into a 5-minute conversation about your favourite routes.
