Months in Spanish: Ultimate Guide To Learn All 12 Months

The months in Spanish are:

Here’s how our Spring Spanish teacher explains the months in Spanish with an easy hack to memorize them!

1. Months in Spanish: Masculine & not capitalized

Important notes:

1. Los meses (the months in Spanish), just like the days in Spanish, are masculine.

For example:

• En el mes de diciembre se celebra la navidad. (Christmas is celebrated in December).

• 2. Unlike English, months are not capitalized in Spanish, a menos que (unless) we are starting a sentence. 

2. Using the months in Spanish to say the date

Spanish-speakers say dates backwards – in relation to English: Hoy es 20 de julio de 2020 (Today is July 20^th, 2020).

Did you see what happened there? The most common pattern for writing dates in Spanish is:

number + de + month + de + year

Another difference you might have noticed is the use of cardinal numbers in Spanish: 20 de julio (literally, 20 OF July), while ordinal numbers are preferred in English: July 20^th. 

Important note:

In Spanish, when saying what year it is, you may say “del 2020” (of the 2020) or “de 2020” (of 2020). Both are correct.

When somebody asks “¿Cuándo es tu cumpleaños?” (When is your birthday?), the usual response is “Mi cumpleaños es el 26 de junio” (My birthday is June 26^th”) or, simply, “El 26 de junio” (June 26^th). So, the structure is as follows:

article + number + de + month

3. 4 Seasons in Spanish

Most people’s favorite season of the year is verano (Summer) because it is related to sol, playa, festivales (the sun, the beach, festivals)… definitely the best season!

The seasons in Spanish are the following: 

4. How to remember the names of Spanish months of the year?

You probably noticed that the names of the months are very similar in English.

This is so because those names come from Roman gods, Roman festivals, Roman leaders, and Roman numbers, in that order.
