I want to ask someone what they do in spare time (i.e. not at work). In English I would say, "What do you do for fun?"

How would I express this in German? Would it be:

Wie machst du Spaß?

Was machst Du in der Freizeit?

Was tust Du, abgesehen vom Beruf?

oder 

Was sind Deine Hobbys?

    Oder "Was hast du für Hobbies?" – Em1 Dec 8 '14 at 14:58

If you are asking someone what he does for fun you can ask:

Was machst du zum Spaß?

Or

Was sind deine Hobbys?

  • "etwas zum Spaß zun" is more like making a joke - I'd rather go for "etwas tun, um Spaß zu haben." – Takkat♦ Dec 8 '14 at 14:09

    In regard to activities in your spare time, you don't use "Spaß" at all. – Em1 Dec 8 '14 at 14:58
  • Etwas Neues gelernt. Danke! – DerPolyglott33 Dec 8 '14 at 23:11
