Ich Liebe Dich
Pronounced: Ish-lee-ba-dish
My uncle speaks German and he says it all the time to my Aunt. Hope I helped!

Yes, of course, it's "Ich liebe dich"
You pronounce it so:
ikh LEE-beh dikh
The final e in liebe is short.
The "ch" in both instances is a soft version of the german "hocking" sound. Some dialects pronounce it as a "sh" sound. In high (standard) German, it is pronounced similar to the first "h" in "Hugh".
To hear the words separately:

PS: You get the right person saying it, and meaning it, and I tell ye it certainly ain't ugly!

Like everybody says Ich liebe dich. But not pronounced as it looks (itch lyber ditch) : it's Ik leeber dik where the k is pronounced like the ch in the Scottish word 'Loch'.
Go on - now ask me how to pronounce theScottish word 'Loch'!

Ich Lieber Dich.
The ich can be pronounced 'ish' or 'ich' The sound is unusual,it is an explosive sound made in the back of the throat.And dont listen to these other idiots.
I meant first g in particular.swearing,not good
