Marhaba (\u0645\u0631\u062d\u0628\u0627)!\u00a0 Today I would like to talk about hobbies (\u0627\u0644\u0647\u0648\u0627\u064a\u0629\/\u0627\u0644\u0647\u0648\u0627\u064a\u0627\u062a). I will tell you all about my own hobbies and then consider some common hobbies from my personal experiences with family and friends. I will also teach you how to express (\u0644\u0644\u062a\u0639\u0628\u064a\u0631 \u0639\u0646) and talk about some common hobbies in Arabic.<\/p>\n

A basic definition (\u062a\u0639\u0631\u064a\u0641) of a hobby (\u0647\u0648\u0627\u064a\u0629) is that it is an activity performed by individuals for pleasure (\u0645\u0646 \u0623\u062c\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062a\u0639\u0629) and during leisure time (\u0648\u0642\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0631\u0627\u063a). With school obligations, work duties (\u0627\u0644\u0648\u0627\u062c\u0628\u0627\u062a), family responsibilities (\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0633\u0624\u0648\u0644\u064a\u0627\u062a) and other related concerns, it is sometimes hard to have a hobby. Nevertheless, we should strive to create some time, because we always need some time to relax (\u0627\u0644\u0627\u0633\u062a\u0631\u062e\u0627\u0621) and have fun.<\/p>\n

My personal hobbies are: music (\u0627\u0644\u0645\u0648\u0633\u064a\u0642\u0649), reading (\u0627\u0644\u0642\u0631\u0627\u0621\u0629), cooking (\u0627\u0644\u0637\u0628\u062e) and taking photographs (\u0627\u0644\u062a\u0635\u0648\u064a\u0631 \u0627\u0644\u0641\u0648\u062a\u0648\u063a\u0631\u0627\u0641\u064a). How can I talk about and introduce my hobbies to other friends, like you Arabic learners here? Well, let us begin first with discussing \u2018I like\u2019 before taking about different hobbies. The subject is \u2018I\u2019 (\u0623\u0646\u0627) and the verb is \u2018to like\u2019 (\u0623\u062d\u0628). After we write I like (\u0627\u0646\u0627 \u0623\u062d\u0628) we than mention these hobbies as direct objects. These are my hobbies and some examples.<\/p>\n
