the fastest, easiest, and most fun way to learn English.
3
Hey everyone, Alisha here.
4
In this series, we're going to learn some easy ways to ask and answer common questions in English.
5
It's really useful and it only takes three minutes.
6
In this lesson, you're going to learn how to ask what someone's hobbies are without using the word hobbies.
7
You've probably seen the question,
8
do you have any hobbies?
9
Or what are your hobbies? in an English textbook before.
10
However, native English speakers almost never use the word hobbies when asking about them.
11
A much more natural way to ask the same question is,
12
What do you do for fun?
13
Let's practice this question.
14
What do you do for fun?
15
What do you do for fun?
16
You can also ask, What do you do in your free time?
17
What do you do in your free time?
18
So how would you answer this question?
19
Let's look at how native speakers would do it.
20
The easiest way is to say,
21
I like to, or just,
22
I like, followed by what you like to do.
23
For example, if you like watching movies,
24
you could say, I like to watch movies,
25
or I like watching movies.
26
I like to watch movies or I like watching movies.
27
And if you like golf,
28
you could say, I like to play golf or I like playing golf.
29
I like to play golf,
30
or I like playing golf.
31
You can emphasize how much you like your hobby by adding a word like really in front of like.
32
For example, I really like watching movies.
33
On the other hand, if you want to play down how much you like something,
34
you can say kind of.
35
For example, I kind of like playing tennis.
36
Now it's time for Alicia's advice.
37
If you don't have any special hobbies or don't want to be specific,
38
a good way to reply is,
39
I like hanging out with my friends and stuff like that.
40
I like hanging out with my friends and stuff like that.
41
Just use, I like, and add,
42
hanging out with my friends,
43
and then add, and stuff like that.
44
How do you answer the question, where are you from?
45
It doesn't even have a verb.
46
We'll cover this and more in the next English in 3 Minutes lesson.
47
See you next time.

Practice Tips

To effectively improve your English pronunciation and become more fluent in casual conversation, consider using the shadowing technique. This involves listening to the speech from the video and repeating it immediately after you hear it, mimicking both tone and speed. The video's pace is moderate, making it ideal for practicing your English articulation. Focus on phrases like "What do you do for fun?" and "I like watching movies." By incorporating shadowspeaks into your practice, you will train your mouth to move correctly for different sounds and rhythms.

For IELTS speaking practice, use the shadowing method to enhance your confidence and fluency. When you practice with a partner, ask each other questions like “What do you do for fun?” and give varied responses. Aim to express your likes clearly and with enthusiasm, using "really" to show passion or "kind of" to tone it down. This approach will not only improve your pronunciation but also make your conversation sound more lively and engaging.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
