How to Say the Months of the Year in English: January to December
If you’re learning English, knowing how to say the months of the year is essential. It can help you schedule meetings, appointments, and events. Additionally, it helps you communicate better with English-speakers and understand when they talk about dates. Here we go!
January
In English, we read January as “jan-you-ary” or “jan-yoo-ary.” It's the first month of the year and is named after the Roman god Janus. He was known for having two faces- one looking to the past and the other to the future. January is usually a cold month in the Northern Hemisphere and a hot month in the Southern Hemisphere.
February
February is the second month of the year. We say it as “feb-roo-ary” or “feb-yoo-ary.” It’s the shortest month of the year, with only 28 days (unless it's a leap year when it has 29). February is named after the Latin word “februare,” which means “to purify.”
March
This is the third month of the year, and it's pronounced as “march” or “march.” March is named after Mars, the Roman god of war. In the Northern Hemisphere, March is the first month of spring. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's usually the first month of autumn.
April
April is the fourth month and pronounced as “ay-pril” or “ap-ril”. It’s named after the Latin word “aperire” which means “to open.” April is often a warm month in the Northern Hemisphere and a colder month in the Southern Hemisphere.
May
May is the fifth month and is pronounced as “may.” It's named after the Greek goddess Maia, who was the goddess of growth. In the Northern Hemisphere, May is usually a warm month associated with spring flowers and greenery. In the Southern Hemisphere, it has a more autumnal feel.
June
June is the sixth month and pronounced as “joon” or “ju-n.” It's named after the Roman goddess Juno, who was the goddess of marriage and family. In the Northern Hemisphere, June is a warm month that usually brings summer holidays and beach trips. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's associated with cooler weather.
July
July is the seventh month and pronounced as “ju-ly” or “joo-ly.” It was named in honor of Julius Caesar. In the Northern Hemisphere, July is the hottest month of the year and is associated with summer holidays. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's usually a cooler month associated with winter activities.
August
August is the eighth month and pronounced as “aw-guhst” or “aw-gust.” It's named after Augustus, the first Roman emperor. In the Northern Hemisphere, August is associated with the height of summer and hot temperatures. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's a bit cooler and associated with the end of winter.
September
September is the ninth month and is pronounced as “sep-tem-ber”. Its name comes from the Latin phrase “septem,” which means “seven.” It used to be the seventh month of the year because, in the ancient Roman calendar, Year began in March. In the Northern Hemisphere, September marks the beginning of autumn, while in the Southern Hemisphere, it marks the beginning of spring.
October
October is the tenth month and pronounced as “ok-toh-ber.” The name comes from the Latin word “octo,” which means “eight”. It was the eighth month of the Roman calendar before January and February were added. In the Northern Hemisphere, October is associated with cooler weather and the fall season. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's usually a mild month that marks the end of spring.
November
November is the eleventh month of the year and pronounced as “noh-vem-ber.” Its name comes from the Latin phrase “novem” which means “nine”. It used to be the ninth month, but January and February changed the calendar. In the Northern Hemisphere, November is associated with crisp, cool weather and Thanksgiving celebrations. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's usually a rainy month.
December
December is the twelfth and last month of the year and usually pronounced as “di-sem-ber”. Its name comes from the Latin word “decem,” which means “ten”. December was originally the tenth month in the Roman calendar before the addition of January and February. In the Northern Hemisphere, December means Christmas, snow, and cold weather. In the Southern Hemisphere, it's usually hot and sunny Christmas.
