44. Expressions of Hobbies in Korean

One of the most fascinating and fun aspects of learning a new language is figuring out how to express your hobbies and interests. In Korean, this is no different. Here are some common Korean hobby expressions that you can use to share what you enjoy doing in your spare time.

First, let's start with the basic phrase for 'I like...'. In Korean, this is expressed as '저는... 좋아해요' (Jeoneun... joahae yo). You can replace points with whatever hobby you want to express. For example, if you like to read, you can say '저는 독서를 좋아해요' (Jeoneun dokseoreul joahae yo).

If you are a music lover, you can say '저는 음악을 듣는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun eumageul deudneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to listen to music'. If you play a musical instrument, you can say '저는 피아노를 치는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun pianoreul chineun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to play the piano'.

For those who love sports, you can say '저는 축구를 하는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun chukgureul haneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to play football'. If you like watching sports instead of playing games, you can say '저는 축구 경기를 보는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun chukgu gyeonggireul boneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to watch football matches'.

If you are an art lover, you can say '저는 그림을 그리는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun geurimeul geurineun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to draw'. If you like visiting art museums, you can say '저는 미술관을 방문하는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun misulgwaneul bangmunhaneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to visit art museums'.

For those who like to cook, you can say '저는 요리하는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun yorihaneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to cook'. If you like to try different types of food, you can say '저는 다양한 음식을 먹는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun dayanghan eumsigeul meokneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to try different types of food'.

Finally, if you are a travel lover, you can say '저는 여행하는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun yeohaenghaneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to travel'. If you like to learn new languages, you can say '저는 새로운 언어를 배우는 것을 좋아해요' (Jeoneun saeroun eoneoreul baeuneun geoseul joahae yo), which means 'I like to learn new languages'.
