This is confusing me. I know two words that mean love.

Amor
Encanta

From what I can gather, amor is a noun, as if I was talking about my love as if it was an object. Encanta (which I think is encantar) is a verb, as to actualy love something.

So if I was going to say, "I love Spanish," I would think that I would say, "Yo encanto Espanol." But google translates that to, "I charm Spanish."

My dictionary says, "Eso me encanta" means "I love that." Could someone maybe explain this phrase to me? Grammar wise that is?

Sorry about all the questions but I have to ask if I want to be able to one day speak Spanish fluently.
