You like horse riding, rafting and making puppets. You learn Greek and practice conversation with a native speaker. You want to talk about your fascinating hobbies to your Greek friend, but don’t know how. Talking about hobbies and activities is not too difficult because we use very simple verbs that most beginners know, such as \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b1\u03c1\u03ad\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9<\/strong> (mou aresee<\/em>, I like) and \u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9<\/strong> (kano<\/em>, to do). In this post, there are some examples of phrases related to hobbies, that you might find useful, even if your hobby is not listed. Some of the phrases are literally translated in English.<\/p>\n
