10 Ways to Say I Love You

If you love Lady Language half as much as I do, I know you're always searching for new ways to achieve closer intimacy.

One way I snuggle up and get comfy with language, and the cultural thought structures that drive it, (thus achieving greater understanding of humanity and my humble place within it {queue angelic choir}) is by speaking in foreign tongues to deliver common phrases in casual conversation.

It tends to break up the monotony of those repetitive social lubricants, and staves off boredom.

Spice up your conversation with these common niceties from around the globe.

Please note that this list is by no means complete, and feel free to leave your own additions in the comments.
