As Valentines Day grows closer, everyone is planning what to do for their special someone or parents or siblings or friends. Simple gifts from flowers to chocolates to valentines cards cost a little more extra. If you’re on a limited budget but still want to impress your loved ones, why not tell them how much you love them? A heartfelt ‘I love you‘ goes a long way, but you can even impress them more by saying I love you in different languages.

*Note on listening to audio: Clicking on ‘listen to audio‘ will ask you whether you want to open or save the file. If you choose ‘open’, it will launch your default music player that can play .amr files. It is usually RealPlayer or QuickTime Player (if it doesn’t work, install the 3gpp plugin). Nokia Multimedia can also play amr files. If you choose ’save’, it will save the audio file to your computer.
