I am really into it

Hi

I believe people use the word 'into' meaning 'interest', like in 'I am really into soccer' meaning you like soccer. Is that correct ? Anybody could clarify with some examples please ?

thanks!

I can confirm the American use of this. My daughter is really into Pokemon. Peter is really into his music these days; it's hard to tear him away.

I've heard this many times in the American English.
I think it's just a spoken expression and I'm not sure if it's used in the British English as well.

BTW: You can also use a Gerund to form such sentences:

I'm really into swimming.
I'm really into watching TV.
I'm really into playing soccer.
