Tired of saying ‘I love you’ to your lover over and over again? Try something different. Spanish is one of the most romantic languages, so, why not say something sweet to your loved one in Spanish? Your partner would surely love to be addressed in a sweet, yet different way. And there is obviously the added attraction of you being able to say something nice in a foreign tongue!
There is something about continental languages, like French, Spanish, and Italian, that sounds so romantic! Perhaps it is because Europeans are widely perceived to be better lovers than others in the world. Or perhaps it is because every word that either Penélope Cruz Sánchez (for men) and Antonio Banderas (for women) speak, oozes raw sexuality.
