In order to ask/tell someone the date or month, you have to know:

Dates

If you went to a hispanic country and asked for the date, it would sound something like this...


"¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?"

"Hoy es el (number day) de (month)."

Ex. "¿Cuál es la fecha de hoy?"
     "Hoy es el cinco de mayo." ....

That dialogue was basically saying "What's today's date?" and the response was "The fifth of May"


Here's a set a words you can try out...



Here's a video of two friends asking for the date so they can countdown to their birthdays. It's best to know your own birthday... thats basically your life. So without further a-do.. video!
