German Months vs. English Months: What Are the Differences? - prashant1104 - 04-03-2025

At first glance, the months in German look very similar to English, which makes them easy to recognize for beginners at the A1 level German. However, there are some key differences, especially in pronunciation and grammar.

One major difference is that in German, all month names are masculine (der Januar, der Februar, etc.), but in most cases, the article "der" is dropped in everyday speech. Another difference is pronunciation, where letters like "J" in "Januar" and "Juli" are pronounced as "Y" in English. Additionally, some months have special characters, like "März", which uses an umlaut (ä).

Another difference is the way Germans write dates. While English speakers write "March 5, 2025", Germans write it as "5. März 2025". Learning these differences will help improve accuracy when discussing the months in German, an important aspect of A1 level German learning.
