Tú eres sexy
When I tell my English speaking friends and family I’m learning Spanish inevitably the first thing they ask is, “Ohh so you’re trying get a hot Spanish girl?!”. Latinos are known to be feisty, passionate, and oh so sensual. I guess I can’t blame them for joking about that.
Here are 54 romantic phrases in Spanish to help you try your luck the next time you find yourself in the Spanish speaking side of town. Hopefully you'll do better than this guy:
