How to tell the months in Spanish
The dates and months are difficult until you get used to them. I am here to make the process faster and simpler.
For starters you must know your numbers from 1 to 31.
The spelling may be the hardest part.
1. January - enero
2. February - febrero
3. March - marzo
4. April - abril
5. May - mayo
6. June - junio
7. July - julio
8. August - agosto
9. September - septiembre
10. October - octubre
11. Novembre - noviembre
12. December - diciembre
The first letter of the month is never capalizied, it would be counted as wrong. Also the day comes before the month
For example:
Christmas - 25/12/00
Chritmas - viente cinco de diciembre
Thanks for using this blog as you resource, don't get off yet weather is next!
