Is it wrong to say "J'aime bien être utile" here?

Bonjour Aya,

In French, "aimer bien" means "to like" rather than "to love" as per the English sentence. See the extract below from the lesson on Aimer = to love, like something/someone in French:

"Note that when using aimer bien, it actually lessens its meaning from 'to love' to 'to like' [someone] / [something]."

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
