We are learning these separately across two different videos.
In this first video, we’ll learn the months. Below the video, you’ll find a list of the vocabulary used so you can write it down and practise.
These are very similar to English, so they are very easy to learn.
Vocabulary taught in this lesson:
- Januar – January
- Februar – February
- März – March
- April – April
- Mai – May
- Juni – June
- Juli – July
- August – August
- September – September
- Oktober – October

Now it’s time for dates. They are a little trickier, but not much. If you haven’t learned the numbers yet, you need to do this first. You can find our lesson for numbers 1-20 here and then up to 100 here.
Watch the following video to learn them.
If you know your numbers, turning them into dates is quite easy:
- For numbers 1 – 19, add “te” to the end
- 20 and above, add “ste” to the end
- Exceptions: 1st – Erste, 3rd – Dritte, 7th – Siebte
Time to practise until you can say these words without thinking 🙂
