Hobby
I don't think manía or pasatiempo are very exact. Aficion seems like a special fondness. Is it the best word? I think there should be a better word. Is there?

Sí, como dice Rusty: tener un hobby, un pasatiempo, una afición; ser aficionado a algo.

Quote:
I used going... in its present continous form, because you were talking about a hobby, something you like doing. The present continuous is formed by adding the present participle (the "- ing form") to the present simple of the verb to be: I am working . You/we/they are working. He/she/it is working. I am not working. You/we/they are not working . He/she/it is not working. Am I working? Are you/we/they working? Is he/she/it working? Function The present continuous is used to talk about actions or events that are happening at the moment: I am writing a text about the present continuous. I am sitting in my office, working on the computer. We also use the present continuous to speak about changes, developments and trends: This town is developing all the time. The puppy is growing at a frightening rate. People are eating better than in the past. These changes, developments and trends can last a long time: Species are constantly evolving. The polar ice caps are melting. We can also use the present continuous to speak about something that is happening at a specific time we are thinking of, even if it is not now: At four in the morning I'm usually sleeping. He likes to be left alone when he is working on a project. We can also use the present continuous to speak about future arrangements: I'm meeting Ana for a drink after work. What are you doing next weekend? We can also use the present continuous to speak about repeated actions, especially when we find these actions irritating. In this case, we usually use the present continuous with words like always or constantly: She is always interrupting when others are trying to speak. He is constantly leaving his cigarette butts lying around. The present continous is also used to talk about something which is not yet completed and when we want to emphasise the ‘continuing’ nature of the activity,sometime we like to do, a hobby... I like going to the cinema. I like going out with my family. I hope this helps, Crotalito.
