While gustar is one of the main ways of translating like, its use is not always appropriate. Used to refer to people, it may imply sexual attraction. Instead, use expressions like caer bien or parecer/resultar simpático/agradable. These expressions work like gustar and need an indirect object:

I like Francis very much Francis me cae muy bien or me parece muy simpático or agradable

She likes me, but that's all (A ella) le caigo bien, pero nada más

Translate to like doing sth and to like to do sth using gustar + infinitive:

Doctors don't like having to go out to visit patients at night A los médicos no les gusta tener que salir a visitar pacientes por la noche

My brother likes to rest after lunch A mi hermano le gusta descansar después de comer

Translate to like sb doing sth and to like sb to do sth using gustar + que + subjunctive:

My wife likes me to do the shopping A mi mujer le gusta que haga la compra

I don't like Irene living so far away No me gusta que Irene viva tan lejos

Use qué + parecer to translate how do/did you like when asking someone's opinion:

How do you like this coat? ¿Qué te parece este abrigo?

How did you like the concert? ¿Qué te ha parecido el concierto?

But use cómo + gustar when using how do you like more literally:

How do you like your steak? ¿Cómo le gusta la carne?

When translating would like, use querer with requests and offers and gustar to talk about preferences and wishes:

Would you like a glass of water? ¿Quiere un vaso de agua?

What would you like me to do about the tickets? ¿Qué quieres que haga respecto a los billetes?

I'd very much like to go to Spain this summer Me gustaría mucho ir a España este verano

Literal translations of I'd like are better avoided when making requests in shops and restaurants. Use expressions like the following:

I'd like steak and chips ¿Me pone un filete con patatas fritas?, (Yo) quiero un filete con patatas fritas
