Use 'gostar' to express liking. It normally appears with the preposition 'de' before a noun or an infinitive verb (gostar de algo / gostar de fazer algo). Conjugate it to match the subject (eu gosto, você gosta, ele gosta). To negate, put 'não' before the verb (não gosto). 'Curtir' is more informal and 'apreciar' is a bit more formal.
