Get your notebook, you’ll want it today!
Adding on to yesterday’s Post, let’s take this a bit further.
Yesterday we introduced the structure…
¿Te gusta escuchar música? – Do you like to listen to music?
Sí, me gusta escuchar música. – Yes, I like listening to music. or
No, no me gusta escuchar música. – No, I don’t like listening to music.
Today we’ll add on more ways to state your degree of like or dislike for a particular activity.
¿Te gusta viajar? – Do you like traveling?
Sí, me gusta mucho. – Yes, I like it a lot.
¿Te gusta tomar café? – Do you like drinking coffee?
Sí, me gusta un poco. – Yes, I like it a ittle.
¿Te gusta lavar los platos? – Do you like washing dishes?
No me gusta nada. – No, I don’t like it at all.
To the back of your answer add:
mucho
un poco or
nada
Notice how today when we answered, we did not repeat the entire phrase. When some asks…
¿Te gusta viajar? We can simply respond, Sí, me gusta. – Yes, I like it.
For some more variety we can also respond…
Me encanta – I love it
Me fascina – It fascinates me
Me interesa – It interests me
When your friend asks…
¿Te gusta viajar? – Do you like traveling?
You could respond…
Sí, me gusta mucho. – Yes, I like it a lot.
Me encanta. – I love it.
Sí, me fascina. – Yes, it fascinates me.
Sí, me interesa mucho. – Yes, it interests me a lot.

Action Steps:

2. Practice answering using variation of like or dislike: Sí, me encanta, Sí, me gusta un poco, etc…
3. Say 3 things you like a lot. Say 2 things you are fascinated by. Say 1 thing you don’t like at all.
