What is their family into

Non-PRO English to Italian Marketing IT (Information Technology) corso di informatica per anziani
Before sitting down in front of the computer ask your student what interests them.
You want to be able to dazzle them what the Internet has to offer specific to their needs and interests.
What questions would they like answered?
What are their hobbies?
What is their family into that they would like to know more about?


Non riesco a capire l'ultima frase: io la intendo come "c'è un'attività (lavorativa?) nella loro famiglia su cui vorrebbero più informazioni"? Non so se è un buon tentativo...

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Scusa, della SUA famiglia, vedo ora che è al singolare.

Comunque:
If you're into something, it means you really like it.
"I'm into listening to music. What are you into?"
"I'm into singing!"

Quindi anche "Quali sono le passioni della sua famiglia..."?

to be into

to be into (something/ someone)
Idiom: to be into; used as a verb

First Example: Eun Hye is into surfing.

Meaning: to be into means to enjoy something a lot. In this example, Eun Hye likes to surf. We often use "be into (something)" to talk about our likes and dislikes.

Here is another example:

Second Example: Brian has been dating his girlfriend for a year. I think he’s really into her.

Meaning: In this case, the meaning of "be into" is slightly different. Here, it means that Brian really likes his girlfriend, and he is serious about the relationship. You can use "be into" to talk about a person you would like to date, or a girlfriend or boyfriend. (Note: We usually don’t use this expression to talk about friendship, only about romantic feelings.)
