Learning the Japanese names for the months can feel a bit tricky for beginners.

Each month is named using numbers, but the way they are pronounced is different, which can make it confusing.

Here’s a simple list of the months:

1. January - 一月 (いちがつ, ichigatsu)
2. February - 二月 (にがつ, nigatsu)
3. March - 三月 (さんがつ, sangatsu)
4. April - 四月 (しがつ, shigatsu)
5. May - 五月 (ごがつ, gogatsu)
6. June - 六月 (ろくがつ, rokugatsu)
7. July - 七月 (しちがつ, shichigatsu)
8. August - 八月 (はちがつ, hachigatsu)
9. September - 九月 (くがつ, kugatsu)
10. October - 十月 (じゅうがつ, juugatsu)
11. November - 十一月 (じゅういちがつ, juuichigatsu)

It might seem like a lot to remember at first, but don’t worry!
