What do you usually ask when you have a small talk with new people you meet for the first time? As I am Korean, I usually ask their hobby to make some common. I think it is great way to make a friend because there can be many kinds of topic and story. First of all, you should know how to ask their hobby in Korean: What is your hobby/취미가 뭐예요?/chi mi ga mo ae yo? Also, you need to know some vocabularies which are related with hobbies. Let’s learn some vocabularies below.

Climbing/등산/deung san

Soccer/축구/chuk gu

Baseball/야구/ya gu

Basketball/농구/nong gu

Volleyball/배구/volleyball

Some people actually like to do exercise, but some others like to just watch the games. When you want to say “Watching soccer is my hobby”, you can use ~기 which nominalize verb or adjective. For instance, to watch/보다/bo da can be 보기 as using noun. 축구보기가 제 취미예요/ watching soccer is my hobby/ chuk gu bo gi ga jae chi mi ae yo.

You can find your hobby in Korean by the dictionary and then practice how you can answer. If you have question, send me the message anytime.
