Salut, ça va?
When it comes to sports, there are two ways that the French do it! “Faire un sport”, literally means “making a sport” or “jouer à quelquechose” means “to play at something”. You can add a wide selection of activities to either of those phrases. For example, “faire du vélo”, "to cycle", or “jouer au volley”, "to play volleyball".
