- Lucas: Ciao Luna! Welcome back to Learn Italian with Fexingo. Ready for episode 39? Luna: Ciao Lucas! Yes, I'm so ready. What are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're going to talk about hobbies. How to say what you like and don't like in Italian. Luna: Oh, that's perfect! I love talking about hobbies. Let's start. Lucas: Great. The key phrase is 'Mi piace'. It means 'I like'. Say it with me: Mi piace. Luna: Mi piace. Lucas: Perfect. And the opposite is 'Non mi piace' — 'I don't like'. Non mi piace. Luna: Non mi piace. That's easy to remember. Lucas: Right. Now, we combine these with activities. For example, 'leggere' — to read. So: Mi piace leggere. Luna: Mi piace leggere. I like to read. That's me! Lucas: Awesome. And 'non mi piace leggere' — I don't like to read. Luna: Non mi piace leggere. Yep, got it. Lucas: Another hobby: 'cucinare' — to cook. Mi piace cucinare. Luna: Mi piace cucinare. Oh, I love cooking. But maybe not every day. Lucas: Fair enough! And 'non mi piace cucinare'. Luna: Non mi piace cucinare. That one is easy too. Lucas: How about 'correre' — to run? Mi piace correre. Luna: Mi piace correre. Hmm, I'm not a big runner. So for me, 'non mi piace correre'. Lucas: Good job! So you can say what you like and don't like. Let's practice a mini conversation. I'll ask: 'Ti piace leggere?' — Do you like to read? Luna: Sì, mi piace leggere. Yes, I like to read. Lucas: Excellent. And 'Ti piace correre?' Luna: No, non mi piace correre. I don't like to run. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's do a quick recap. Repeat after me: Mi piace. Luna: Mi piace. Lucas: Non mi piace. Luna: Non mi piace. Lucas: leggere. Luna: leggere. Lucas: cucinare. Luna: cucinare. Lucas: correre. Luna: correre. Lucas: Now let's make full sentences. Mi piace leggere. Luna: Mi piace leggere. Lucas: Non mi piace cucinare. Luna: Non mi piace cucinare. Lucas: Mi piace correre. Luna: Mi piace correre. Lucas: Well done! You can also combine with other activities you already know from previous episodes. Remember 'andare al mercato'? Mi piace andare al mercato. Luna: Oh, yes! Mi piace andare al mercato. I like going to the market. Lucas: Exactly. Or 'mangiare la pizza' — Mi piace mangiare la pizza. Luna: Mi piace mangiare la pizza. Who doesn't? Lucas: Right. So now you can talk about your hobbies in Italian. Practice with your own likes and dislikes. Luna: This was fun! I can say what I like and don't like. Grazie, Lucas! Lucas: Prego, Luna. And remember, listeners, keep practicing with Fexingo. We'll be back with another tiny episode soon. Ciao! Luna: Ciao!
