Hobbies can take many forms, and you may want to share information about yours with friends and acquaintances in Russian:

 If you’re a sports fan, you’d better know how to talk about your favorite sports in Russian. (Also prepare to be converted into a fan of soccer or hockey — Russians’ two favorite games.)

 Russians are avid readers and, for the most part, very well-read. So if you’re speaking Russian, be prepared to say at least something about books and literature genres you like or dislike. Beware: Saying “I don’t read much” can earn you a tarnished reputation.

 If you happen to be in Russia in summer, late spring, or early autumn, don’t miss the experience of going to a country house on a weekend. You’ll never forget it.

See Chapter 13 for more about hobbies and the great outdoors.
