Step 1
The most direct translation of "I love you" in Spanish is "te amo". It is pronounced like "tay ah-moe". Keep in mind that this is a very serious expression in Spanish and should not be said lightly. Most likely you will only hear this expression in the context of a committed relationship.

Step 2
If you don't feel so romantically inclined, don't worry, because there is an alternative that is lighter-hearted. It's "te quiero". It is pronounced "tay key-air-o". This is a lot like "I like you" in English, but is a bit stronger.

Step 3
To say, "I am in love", just say "estoy enamorado". Unless you are a woman, that is. In that case, say "estoy enamorada".
-
Step 4
There is another saying that is "me gustas". This means "I like you (physically)." It is a bit crude, however, so use it sparingly or with someone who has a good sense of humor.

Step 5
That's all it takes. Now you know how to say "I love you" in Spanish. Good luck and have fun on your travels!
