I don't take formal lessons, just mess about at home
I don't have a piano tutor but enjoy playing just for my own amusement
As a hobby, piano playing may be a rewarding and creative pastime and of course, there is a phenomenally wide range of ability amongst all the people who take up piano playing, either seriously or as an intermittent player. The traditional way of learning piano is to have regular lessons, practise alone, and then slowly work your way through a series of progressively more difficult exams. Or you can just self-teach and play 'for your own amusement.'
I don't take lessons; I just play (piano) for fun.
I've never taken lessons; I just play (piano) for fun.
I've never received formal training; I've only played piano during my free time.
1. "I don't take lessons; I just play (piano) for fun."
I think a good, casual reply to this question is: "I don't take lessons, I just play for fun." It is optional if you want to include "piano", but I think it would sound most casual if "piano" was omitted. I think this is a good response because it is brief.
2. "I've never taken lessons; I just play (piano) for fun."
*** "I've never taken lessons" is another way of saying "I don't take lessons".
3. "I've never received formal training; I've only played piano during my free time."
I think this is a good response if you would like to be more formal.
*** "receive formal training" means to take serious lessons or classes.
I hope this helps! Good luck!✰✰
1. "I don't take lessons; I just play (piano) for fun."
レッスンは受けていません。趣味で弾くだけです。
これは、カジュアルな表現だと思います。pianoという単語をいれてもいいですが、pianoを省いた方がよりカジュアルに聞こえます。短いので使えるフレーズですね。
2. "I've never taken lessons; I just play (piano) for fun."
レッスンを受けたことがありません。趣味で弾くだけです。
*** "I've never taken lessons"とは、レッスンを受けたことがないという意味です。
3. "I've never received formal training; I've only played piano during my free time."
きちんとしたトレーニングを受けたことはありません。時間があるときに弾きます。
これは、とてもフォーマルな表現です。
*** "receive formal training" とは、本当のレッスンやクラスを受けるという意味です。
お役に立てたら幸いです。
I no longer take professional lessons. I just play for fun.
I have never had professional lessons. I only play for leisure.
I taught myself to play piano.
If you have had lessons in the past, but do not take piano lessons anymore, you can say "I no longer take professional lessons. I just play for fun.".
If you have taught yourself piano "from scratch" (that means from the very beginning, without any previous effort or knowledge) you can say "I have never had professional lessons. I only play for leisure." or "I taught myself to play piano.".
以前ピアノのレッスンを受けていて、今はもう受けていない場合は:
"I no longer take professional lessons. I just play for fun.".
(もうレッスンは受けていません。趣味で弾くだけです)
もし初めから独学でピアノを学んだなら:
"I have never had professional lessons. I only play for leisure."
(レッスンを受けたことはありません、趣味で弾いているだけです)
"I taught myself to play piano."
(独学でピアノを学びました)
"I play piano for fun"
This sentence is stating that you enjoy playing piano, that you aren't so serious about being a pianist (someone who plays the piano), that you like to have a good time.
"I don't take piano lessons I just mess around"
To 'mess around' is to state that you have fun, don't care too much about something, you just do it, ex. "Do you want a mess about on the football pitch" (to play football).
"I play piano for fun"(趣味でピアノを弾きます)
は、「ピアノを弾くのは好きだけど趣味である、そこまで真剣ではない」と伝えています。
"I don't take piano lessons I just mess around"(ピアノのレッスンは受けていません、ただ遊びで弾くだけです)
'mess around' はあまり深く考えずにただ楽しむことを表します。
例:
"Do you want a mess about on the football pitch?"
(サッカーでもやりましょうか)
"I'm not taking lessons, I just play for fun." This explains to the teacher that you are not taking lessons and you just play at home by yourself for fun.
"No, I am trying to teach myself at home for fun." This politely explains to the teacher that you do not take lessons but you are trying to teach yourself how to play it.
"I'm not taking lessons, I just play for fun."
レッスンを受けているわけではなく、家で楽しみのために引いていることを先生に伝える表現です。
"No, I am trying to teach myself at home for fun."
レッスンは受けていないけれど、自分で学んでいることを先生に説明する丁寧な表現です。
