Then, in the second sentence, the right one is 'on weekdays', right?

Yes (sorry, missed the second sentence!). "On weekends". "On weekdays".
"At" would be incorrect.

In the UK we say "at weekends" and "on weekdays".

I've never heard of that before! I'd never think of saying "I like to do this at weekends"! Sounds very off to me. But my English is AE, so this could be another AE/BE difference.

It seems that I heard 'sound off' before. Doesn't 'sound off' mean 'sound awkward'? Or, is it another difference between AE and BE or just a typo?

I meant to say "sounds odd", as my subsequent post indicated, not "off". It was a typo. Sorry.

It can mean this in BrE.
