Valentine's Day is approaching: what better way to express your love to a partner, friend or family member than by writing a heartfelt letter in their Native language? Whether you're fluent or just starting to learn, writing a love letter can be a great way to practice your language skills and show your significant other how much you care. Here are five tips to help you write a love letter in another language that is sure to impress:
Learn the vocabulary in the People & Relationships category of the Drops app. There are all kinds of topics for Romantic love, familial love, and friendship. Need help with pronouns? Try our Gender and Pronouns topic in the Pride category. If you’re having trouble remembering some words, use our Review Dojo tool to practice words you’ve already learned until they stick.
Get inspiration from famous love letters or songs written in the language you’re learning. After you’ve gotten some lyrical inspiration, you can join the Love on Drops challenge on Drops, and learn the vocabulary you need to make a letter that’s uniquely yours.
Don't be afraid to use simple vocabulary and grammar. Your significant other will appreciate the effort you put into writing the letter, even if it's not perfect. The most important thing is to express your feelings in a sincere and heartfelt way.
If you're writing a love letter in French, you can include references to French culture, such as famous French love songs or movies. If you’re learning Korean, you can take the Drops K-pop and K-drama courses to learn specific cultural references.This will show your significant other that you're making an effort to understand their culture and connect with them on a deeper level.
Have someone else proofread it. Once you've finished writing your letter, it's a good idea to have someone else who is fluent in your target language proofread it. This will help you catch any mistakes and ensure that your letter is as perfect as possible.
Writing a love letter in another language can be a great way to express your love and practice your language skills. By following these tips, you'll be able to write a letter that will impress your significant other and make them feel loved and appreciated. Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
"Amazing app"
