I am into vs I am interested in

0Hi,02br
02br
00I have been using the clause "I am interested in" to tell someone what my hobby is. However, I recently have found that you do say "I am into" to tell someone about your interest or hobby. So what I am wondering is which one do you usually use?02br
02br
00So say if I am interested in playing soccer, but I want to say in the other way, can you say "I am into playing soccer"? Are they the same in meaning?02br
02br
00Thanks in advance.0-

0 "I am into" is a colloquial term. It's frequently used and is fine for use when speaking to friends. You might not want to use it at a job interview, however. 0-

0As far as I know, you could say, "My hobby is sleeping". But you neither say "I am interested in sleeping" nor "I am into sleeping"? 0-

00And I disagree with your conclusion. There's nothing wrong with those admissions. I'm into sleeping! 0-
