Unit 664. Hobbies can take up a lot of time.

I think having a hobby is a great thing as long as it doesn't take up all of your time.

English On The Go

I think that one great way to spend your time and to, you know, get to learn new things is by having a hobby.
And a hobby can be, like, a million things.

It can be sports … that's what it is, you know, for normal people.

-----------------------

But for me, when I was growing up in high school, my hobby was actually learning Korean,  

which was really funny because it was completely random.

No one knew why I wanted to learn Korean.

-----------------------

But I would just go around, and I had my little Korean notebooks

and I had all these lessons that I downloaded from online.

And anytime I had free time, I would be teaching myself Korean.

-----------------------

And that really became my hobby.

I … It in fact was my hobby so much that I wasn't doing as well in school

-----------------------

because I was spending all my time studying Korean.

So I think sometimes your hobbies can take over your life.

Krista (여)

Is online dating considered a hobby? It does take up a lot of your time ...

 온라인 데이팅도 취미로 간주되나요? 시간이 많이 들어가긴 해요...

Bob (남)

I have a motorcycle named Jill and a cat named Boo. I'm not sure if those are hobbies, but they take up a lot of my time.

 I will not take up too much of your time.  시간 많이 안 뺏을게요.     ~ much of your time. ~  a lot of your time.

이야기를 한참 하다가   I don't want to take up anymore of your time.  하면서 일어날 때도 많다.

Speaking Summary

I think having a hobby is a great thing as long as it doesn't take up all of your time.
시간을 거기에 다 뺏기지 않는다면 취미가 있는 건 좋은 것 같아요.

English On The Go

I think that one great way to spend your time and to, you know, get to learn new things is by having a hobby.
시간을 보내는 좋은 방법, 그리고 새로운 걸 배울 수 있는 좋은 방법은 취미를 갖는 거라고 생각해요.

  by 는 생략해도 됨

 

And a hobby can be, like, a million things.

그리고 취미는 정말 다양할 수 있어요.

  hobby 미국식, 호주식 발음차이 ..  hubby 허비는 미국에서 구어체로 남편을 뜻 함,

  like 는 생략해도 됨

 

It can be sports … that's what it is, you know, for normal people.

스포츠가 될 수도 있고... 보통 사람들에게는 스포츠가 그렇죠.

-----------------------

But for me, when I was growing up in high school, my hobby was actually learning Korean,

그런데 저는 어렸을 때, 고등학교 다닐 때, 제 취미는 사실 한국어를 배우는 거였어요.

 when I was growing up (and when I was) in high school   두 문장이 합쳐진 것

 

which was really funny because it was completely random.

정말 웃겼어요. 왜냐하면 정말 뜬금없이 배우게 된 거였거든요.

  in a random order  아무 규칙도 없이 아무 숫자나 ( no reason )

  

completely 완전히

random 무작위의, 임의의

 

No one knew why I wanted to learn Korean.

제가 왜 한국어를 배우고 싶어 하는지 아무도 몰랐어요.

 No one knew 하면 자신도 몰랐다 ..  I don't even know,  I didn't know either .. 

 

-----------------------

But I would just go around, and I had my little Korean notebooks

그렇지만 저는 그냥 제 한국어 공책들을 갖고 다니면서

  두 문장을 합쳐야 의미가 통함,  I would go aroung carrying my little korean notebooks

 

and I had all these lessons that I downloaded from online.

인터넷에서 다운로드 받은 레슨들이 많이 있었어요.

  downloaded from online .. from 빼면 어색.

  online 에 보통 전치사 안 씀.  인터넷에서 샀다, 구했다 등.. 그러나 다운로드같은 경우에는 어색할 수 있어서 

  I put it online, I posted it online, I uploaded it online ..

 

And anytime I had free time, I would be teaching myself Korean.

그리고 시간이 생길 때마다 저는 한국어를 혼자서 공부했어요.

-----------------------

And that really became my hobby.

그리고 그게 정말로 제 취미가 됐어요.

 

I … It in fact was my hobby so much that I wasn't doing as well in school

사실 워낙 큰 취미여서 학교 성적이 좋지 못했어요.

 so much 는 동사와 많이 쓰이는게 일반적, I was learning korean so much ..

 as well 은 항상 뭔가 비교하는 거 

 

-----------------------

because I was spending all my time studying Korean.

시간을 모두 한국어 공부하는 데에 쓰고 있었거든요.

 

So I think sometimes your hobbies can take over your life.
그래서 가끔은 취미가 자신의 인생을 장악하게 될 수도 있는 것 같아요.

 

take over 장악하다, 지배하다 

ex)

When she grows up, she’ll take over their business.

그녀가 성인이 되면 그들의 사업을 인계받을 거예요.

I'll take over frome here.  여기서부터는 제가 맏겠습니다.
