Sexy Foreign Phrases: Expressions
of Love and Lust in French, Italian and Spanish (and Hungarian)
by Mariella Krause
Have you ever noticed how much sexier things sound when they're said
in a foreign language? Given that fact, you could probably seduce somebody
just by whispering the ingredients of a croque-monsieur in their
ear -- provided they don't know their jambon from their fromage.
But
if you really want to sound impressive, you'll want to be able to do
more than just recite a grocery list. You'll want words filled with
amor, fuego, and passione. And we're here to help.
We've
translated some essential phrases into the most fantastically sexy and
romantic languages we could find. And then we also translated them into
Hungarian. Why? Because the founder of our company is Hungarian and
offered to translate. Besides, you never know when you might be in Budapest
and find your soulmate.
So
read up, and soon you too will be speaking the international language
of love.

You Want To Start a Conversation
