For the first Super Easy of the year, let's learn the months of the year.
Let's start right away with the months.

February
March
April
May
June
July
I don't remember them.
August
September
October
November
December
Now let's see how to pronounce these months.
Let's go to the armchair.
January
There are two Ns, so the N is long.
January
February
There are two B's, so B is long.
February
March
The letter Z is pronounced like the TS in the English word cuts.
March
April
All vowels must be pronounced correctly.
April
May
There are two G's, so the G is long and the I is not pronounced.
May
June
The GN is like an N, but the tongue goes so against the palate.
June
Smile and say No, and you'll find the right position.
June
Come in lasagna.
June
July
The GLI is pronounced like an L, but the tongue goes so against the palate.
Smile and say "L," and you'll find the right position.
July
August
Starts with A in Italian.
August
September
There are two T's, so the T is long.

Now let's play a game.
I pull a month out of the hat and explain the month.
Katy has to guess, and vice versa.
You start.
Yes.
To guess? Okay.
You start.
Okay. It's an autumn month.
It's starting to get cold in Milan.
October?
Yes.
Easy. It's the month of my birthday.
June
Rischione.
Turn.
Ok. The only month that starts with the letter L.
July
It's starting to get hot in Milan.
May?
Yes.
OK.
It is the shortest month of the year.
February
No, it's the shortest word of the year.
I think.
Marcio
Yes.
It is a very cold month.
OK.
It sometimes snows.
January
Yes.
This month is very similar to an Italian word that is measured with a thermometer.
No, not this definition.
Temperature?
No.
Hi.
February
February. Why is fever measured with a thermometer?
But it has nothing to do with the month.
No, but.
Perhaps it's the longest month, in the sense that there are so many letters.
November?
Yes.
Perhaps also September.
No, September is longer.
There's a little Italian saying that begins with this month and ends with sweet sleep.
To the end.
April?
Yes.
Why do they say "sweet sleep"?
Why does spring arrive, and why do we feel more sleepy in spring?
Spinning.
The month when everything closes.
August
Easy.
In August everything closes in Italy because it's hot, and it's a nationwide habit to go on vacation.
So usually everyone or many people have most of their holidays in August.
I'm leaving.
OK.
This is easy.
School starts.
September.
Last?
Last one.
So this is easy too.
It would be easy for you, certainly not for me, because I don't remember what we said and what we didn't say.
The month of Christmas and your birthday.
December
Yes.
Fantastic, we've finished even the last month of the year.
Exactly.
Perhaps they were little notes.
What's it like to have a birthday in December?
It is very sad.
No.
No, it's fine.
Let's say it's all accumulated in one month.
When I was a kid, it was more like that... but it's early December, so it doesn't overlap too much with Christmas.
So many emotions in a single month.
In a single month.
Actually, I really like December, and the rest of the months are meh.
Now let's conduct an experiment.
Fate as we have done.
Describe the month of your birthday in the comments.
We will also guess your birthdays.
Hello!
