Ways to get it wrong

Confusing 'ver' with 'mirar'

'Ver' means to see, while 'mirar' means to look at. You want to see the person, not just look at them.

Pronouncing 'quiero' as 'key-erro'

The 'qu' in Spanish sounds like 'k', and the 'ie' is a diphthong, so it's 'kee-EH-roh'.

A small cultural note

In many Latin American countries, expressing this desire directly is common and well-received after a positive interaction.

Frequently asked

What's the difference between 'otra vez' and 'de nuevo'?

'Otra vez' and 'de nuevo' are often interchangeable and both mean 'again'. 'Otra vez' is slightly more common in everyday speech.

How to say 'I want to see you again' more casually?

For a very casual setting with someone you know well, you might say 'Quiero verte' (I want to see you) and let the context imply 'again'.

Is 'Quiero verte otra vez' too strong for a first date?

It's generally fine if the date went very well. If you're unsure, a slightly softer 'Me gustaría verte de nuevo' might be safer.
