What do you do in your free time? This set gives you twenty-four words for sports and hobbies, from soccer, baseball and swimming to hiking, camping, reading and singing at a noraebang. Koreans love hiking on weekends, baseball and soccer games, and the noraebang, a private singing room where friends sing together. Many sport names are loanwords, and many hobbies use the pattern noun + 하다, like 요리하다 (to cook), or noun + 치다 for racket sports. These words are perfect for self-introductions and small talk. Gaon, our grammar teacher, leads this set, and all four teachers act out the activities in the pictures, so you can see exactly what each word means.

Mr. Gaon
