Could everyone tell me how to say I love you in German and how to pronounce it?

Are you sure you want EVERYONE to answer it?
Apart from that, the "Ish lee-buh dish" is closest to the german pronunciation.One word of warning though : germans use the word love less often than americans, so the meaning of "Ich liebe Dich" is
"I'm in love with you".If your intention was more along the lines of "I like you", say "Ich mag Dich".

And i'll really never understand why non-germans just can't say that ch-sound, it seems sooooo easy to us germans ;-) (really, its not much more than just exhaling loudly)

Ich liebe dich = I love you!
Its hard to tell how to pronounce, if you cant hear the person saying it correctly!

I love you is "Ich liebe Dich"
the sound of "ch" at the end of "ich" and "dich" is hard to represent in writing to an English-speaker but, if you are a native Englsih speaker, and especially British, try this:
Say the word "huge" carefully and both listen to the sound and feel what happens in your mouth; as you pass from the "h" sound to the "u" sound, you should both hear and feel a sort of "scrapy sh" sound before you land on the "ooj" sound at the end of the word. That "scrapy sh" sound is very similar to the sound at the end of "ich" and "dich": so, with that in mind:
ich liebe Dich - sounds a bit like "iSH lee-be(r) diSH". Hope I haven't made this too confusing....

Ich liebe dich.
"Ish LEE-buh dish."
Really the "ish" sounds are this combo of "ish" and "ick" thats hard to describe without saying it to you. It's kind of a hckkkk sound in the back of your throat.
