To learn the names of the months in French, remember that they sound different from English. Some endings are also not the same. Here’s a simple list of the months and how to say them in French:

1. January - janvier
2. February - février
3. March - mars
4. April - avril
5. May - mai
6. June - juin
7. July - juillet
8. August - août
9. September - septembre
10. October - octobre
11. November - novembre
12. December - décembre

Tips on How to Pronounce Them

• In French, the "r" sound is different. It's a deeper sound than in English.
• The ending "-er" in the month names usually sounds like "ay."

Example Sentences

1. Mon anniversaire est en mai. (My birthday is in May.)
2. Nous avons une réunion en janvier. (We have a meeting in January.)

Fun Practice Activity

Try writing each month in French and say them out loud.

Make sentences using each month so you can get used to their sounds.

Think about important events in your life, like birthdays or holidays, and connect them to the right months.

Happy practicing!
