Whether you usually mark Valentine's Day by cutting out homemade valentines with your kids, presenting a heart-shaped box of candy to your beloved or cooking a special family meal, why not use the occasion this year to express your love in a whole new way? Say it in another language and spark a love of languages and learning in your kids.

Here's how to say "I love you" in seven languages:

German:Ich liebe dich

Russian (transliterated):Yah tebyah loobloo

Spanish:Te quiero or (romantically) Te amo

French:Je t'aime

Hebrew (transliterated):Ani ohev otach (to a woman or girl) or Ani ohevet otchah (to a man or boy)

Arabic (transliterated):Ana behibek (to a girl or woman) or Ana behibak (to a boy or man)

Italian:Ti voglio bene or (romantically) Ti amo

What better way to say "I love you"? Of course, a shiny red box of bonbons is nice too!
