And now it begins!
I am learning Swedish because I want to travel and make friends there. My native language is English and I grew up in the United States. I enjoy music, guitar, languages, enjoying nature, chess, cards, traveling and making friends!

Vicky & Akhra - 'enjoying nature' is a gerund phrase. It's the use of a present participle 'enjoying', and using it as a noun. 'Enjoying' is the gerund and 'enjoying nature' is the gerund phrase. Chad could have said, "Enjoying nature is something I like to do." In this case, 'enjoying nature' is acting as a noun; it's an activity like swimming, playing the piano (or in this case Chad and his guitar). In English, we frequently use the gerund. Chad also used a second gerund phrase 'making friends' in his note.
Good luck Chad with your Swedish! I'm four months on my journey and loving every minute of it.

It is not a stupid question at all. It is confusing because I typed "enjoy" and "enjoying" in the same sentence. I originally meant to type "I enjoy music, guitar, languages, nature, chess, cards, traveling and making friends" but instead typed the sentence "I enjoy music, guitar, languages, enjoying nature, chess, cards, traveling and making friends". The sentence could mean that at any time I always enjoy "music, guitar, and languages" and that at the time of typing the sentence that I am enjoying at that moment " nature, chess, cards, traveling and making friends." But, it is just easier and less confusing to just say "I enjoy music, guitar, languages, nature, chess, cards, traveling and making friends." :P Thanks for the question! I hope I made that a little more clear!
