If you like something in Spanish you have to use a slightly different construction than we do in English. You use the verb gustar that means to please.

So in Spanish you say:

To me it is pleasing ... and then you add the thing that is pleasing to you, ie. the thing that you like.

If you like one thing you say:

me gusta + the thing you like

The one thing can be an action in which case you just add the verb.

Me gusta comer. = I like to eat.

if you like more than one thing you say:

me gustan + the thing you like

So how do you think you'd say - I like singing?

Have a go and we'll check your attempt for you.

New at this but I think it would be me gusta cantar, or in my case, "me gusta cantar fuerte"
