Lesson Transcript

Let's look at some examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

Me gusta pescar.

Me gusta leer.

Me gusta viajar.

Me gusta nadar.

Me gusta jugar fútbol.

Did you notice how the last speaker uses a different pattern?

Me gusta jugar fútbol.

"I like playing soccer."

First is me gusta, “I like.” Me gusta.

Next is jugar, literally “to play,” but it translates as "playing." Jugar (enunciated). Jugar.

Jugar is used for sports and games, but not for playing musical instruments.

After this is fútbol, "soccer,". Fútbol.

Note: Fútbol is also very commonly pronounced futbol, with the last syllable stressed.

All together, Me gusta jugar fútbol. "I like playing soccer." Me gusta jugar fútbol.

This pattern is:

Me gusta jugar ACTIVITY.

I like playing ACTIVITY.

You should be aware of this, but you won’t need it for this lesson.
