Months in Spanish
Most of the months in Spanish are similar in spelling to their English counterparts, therefore it makes it easier to learn. The main exception is January, enero. If you use a memory trigger it will make it easier to remember.
I saw one example of using Emperor Nero — hence e nero. So when you are trying to remember the first month remember that image of the Emperor & then carry on from there.
Here are the months in Spanish:
| Months in English | Months in Spanish |
|---|---|
| January | enero |
| February | febrero |
| March | marzo |
| April | abril |
| May | mayo |
| June | junio |
| July | julio |
| August | agosto | September | septiembre | October | octubre | November | noviembre | December | diciembre |
As with the days of the week in the previous post, these are also NOT capitalized and they are all masculine as well.

Spanish Days of the Week
Here are the days of the week in Spanish for the others learning Spanish like me. Note that the week starts on Monday and not Sunday. Also note that the days are NOT capitalized, only lowercase. Those are the two main differences.

|---|---|
| lunes | Monday |
| martes | Tuesday |
| miércoles | Wednesday |
| jueves | Thursday |
| viernes | Friday |
| sábado | Saturday |
