Happy Valentine’s Day or Fel\u00edz Dia del Amor y la Amistad<\/em>!\u00a0 While Valentine’s Day is not traditionally celebrated in most Spanish speaking countries, its influence has certainly reached many. Spanish is also considered to be a very romantic language and in this post, I want to explore how you can incorporate some Spanish while you fall in love.<\/p>\n

The beginning<\/h3>\n

So you met someone who is amazing and you want to get to know them. You should first ask them out on a date or arrange a\u00a0cita<\/em> with them. A romantic restaurant might be the way to go, but it all depends on the two of you! Make sure you compliment them on their looks by saying something like \u00a1Wow! Te ves hermosa<\/em>\u00a0(Wow, you look beautiful!) or \u00a1Que guapo<\/em>!\u00a0 (How handsome!).\u00a0<\/em>While you are having dinner, make sure you are listening and getting to know them.<\/p>\n

If the evening is going well, you might want to step up your romance with a little coqueteo<\/em> or flirting. When I first met my husband, the only romantic thing he knew in Spanish was\u00a0tienes los ojos mas bonitos que he visto en mi vida<\/em>\u00a0(you have the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen), and I found it so cute especially with his accent. You can express your wish to get to know them better by saying\u00a0me encantar\u00eda saber mas de tu vida\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0quisera conocerte mejor!<\/em><\/p>\n

While you are walking you might want to ask\u00a0si le puedes dar la mano\u00a0<\/em>or if you could hold their hand. If its time for a\u00a0beso\u00a0<\/em>or a kiss you might want to start off with a\u00a0picorete<\/em> which is a word we use in Mexico to mean a pop kiss (although this is not exclusively on the lips, it could also be a pek on the cheek so be smart!).<\/p>\n

The song below by Natalia Lafourcade talks about that feeling of falling in love.<\/p>\n
