Portuguese Love Phrases

One thing I really enjoy about running In Love With Lisbon is checking my blog stats. I love to see how people are using the site, what interests them, what people link to and how people find me. I also get a lot of inspiration by looking at the keywords people use that bring them to here. One very commom search term is “Portuguese Love Phrases”.

I decided to get in the Valentine’s spirit and make a video of a selection of phrases to whisper in your loved one’s ear. Below you will find the phrases with sound files that I use in the video. To see the video click here.

I would love to hear of any other phrases you can think of (nothing too naughty please) so feel free to put them in the comments. Comments from European native speakers are also very welcome!

Lisbon is the most beautiful place to visit for a romantic weekend away. I noticed that Go Lisbon have a lovely blog post on romantic places to visit so I encourage you to take a look there as well. I wholeheartedly agree with them that if you and your beloved are taking a Lisbon break this week you must make a visit to Sintra.

Now for all you princesses and knights in shining armour, here are the sweet nothings…
