What I Enjoy in Macedonian
This free Macedonian lesson teaches what i enjoy as part of the Hobbies & Free Time course on OpaLingo. Say what you do in your free time: hobbies, sports like фудбал and кошарка, running and swimming, and what you enjoy — with сакам да + verb. You'll learn 5 Macedonian words, including Сакам да пеам (I like to sing), Сакам да танцувам (I like to dance), Сакам да гледам филмови (I like watching films), Сакам да читам книги (I like to read books), Моето омилено хоби е… (My favourite hobby is…), each with audio pronunciation, interactive flashcards, and a quiz to check your progress. Macedonian belongs to the South Slavic language family and is the official language of North Macedonia, with about 1.5 million speakers. Because it is written phonetically in a 31-letter Cyrillic alphabet, every word is pronounced exactly as it is spelled — a big head start for new learners.
