Best of all, <strong>it uses full sentences, giving you context for every word you learn<\/strong> (and context is essential in Italian, given how adjectives and nouns can change form depending on whether they&#8217;re masculine, feminine, singular or plural!).<\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6886-_heading=h.lbdlqlvf2af3\"><\/a><strong>Buy an Italian calendar online<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This way, you will not only learn the Italian months, but also the Italian days of the week. And if you want to take things up a notch, make sure you write down all your appointments in Italian from now on.<\/p>\n<p>You can also buy a portable Italian diary to keep in your purse or pocket. You will be forced to think in Italian, which is the perfect strategy to learn new words faster!<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"post-6886-_heading=h.2f858pt5o14d\"><\/a><strong>How do you use the months in Italian?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Italian months are all masculine, but articles are almost never used. However, <strong>prepositions<\/strong> are used in front of them to translate expressions like &#8220;until February&#8221; or &#8220;in August&#8221;. Let&#8217;s see how to use them.<\/p>\n<p>Events that occur in a given month use the preposition <strong>a<\/strong>. Examples<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Compio gli anni a ottobre.<br \/>\n<\/strong> My birthday is in October.<\/li>\n<li><strong>La scuola inizier\u00e0 a settembre.<br \/>\n<\/strong> School will start in September.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00c8 nevicato sei volte a gennaio.<br \/>\n<\/strong> It snowed six times in January.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A luglio partiremo per la Sardegna.<br \/>\n<\/strong> We will leave for Sardinia in July.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use <strong>ad<\/strong> for months that begin with a vowel, <strong>aprile<\/strong> and <strong>agosto<\/strong>. All the others use <strong>a<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Less frequently, and in the same contexts, you can use the preposition <strong>in<\/strong>. See examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Non c&#8217;\u00e8 scuola in agosto<\/strong>.<br \/>\nThere is no school in August.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comincia a fare freddo in novembre.<br \/>\n<\/strong> It starts to get cold in November.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In giugno voglio cominciare a dipingere la stalla.<br \/>\n<\/strong> In June I want to start painting the barn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In these two structures, articles are never used.<\/p>\n<p>There is a third, more formal way to say &#8220;in + month&#8221;: <strong>nel mese di\u2026<\/strong>, which literally means &#8220;in the month of&#8221;. This is even less common, and you will only find it in formal writing, such as legal documents. Examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Il consiglio di amministrazione si riunir\u00e0 nel mese di marzo.<br \/>\n<\/strong> The Board will meet in March.<\/li>\n<li><strong>L&#8217;azienda \u00e8 stata fondata nel mese di maggio.<br \/>\n<\/strong> The company was established in May.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also use this structure to translate &#8220;in the first week of + month&#8221;, &#8220;in the second half of + month&#8221;, etc. Example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Le more maturano nella seconda met\u00e0 di agosto.<br \/>\n<\/strong> Blackberries ripen in the second half of August.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Il festival si tiene nella prima settimana di luglio.<br \/>\n<\/strong> The festival takes place in the first week of July.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><a id=\"post-6886-_heading=h.b7om5c7vix47\"><\/a><strong>How do you say &#8220;from&#8230; to&#8230;&#8221;?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For events that don&#8217;t take place in a specific month, but span several months, such as &#8220;from January to July,&#8221; use <strong>da\u2026 a\u2026<\/strong>. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Il museo \u00e8 aperto al pubblico da ottobre a dicembre.<br \/>\n<\/strong> The museum is open to the public from October to December.<\/li>\n<li><strong>La mostra d&#8217;arte si tiene da agosto a settembre.<br \/>\n<\/strong> The art exhibition takes place from August to September.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To say &#8220;since + month&#8221;, just use <strong>da<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Da aprile in poi potremo giocare fuori.<br \/>\n<\/strong> We will be able to play outside starting in April.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lavoro alla Fiat da gennaio.<br \/>\n<\/strong> I have been working at Fiat since January.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-6886-_heading=h.4s97lst9byfr\"><\/a><strong>How to write dates using months in Italian<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is where the <strong>articles<\/strong> come in handy. You need one when you want to say a specific date. To write a date in Italian, start with <strong>il<\/strong>, &#8220;the&#8221;. Then use a <strong>cardinal number<\/strong> (1, 2, 3\u2026) followed by the name of the month in Italian. Like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Il 28 aprile<br \/>\n<\/strong> (On) April 28<\/li>\n<li><strong>Il 15 agosto<br \/>\n<\/strong> (On) August 15<\/li>\n<li><strong>Il 3 dicembre<br \/>\n<\/strong> (On) December 3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We don&#8217;t really use ordinal numbers like English does, but the number 1 is kind of an exception: it uses the ordinal number <strong>primo<\/strong>, &#8220;first&#8221;. Examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ho appuntamento dal parrucchiere il primo aprile.<br \/>\n<\/strong> I have a hairdressing appointment on April 1.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Il primo agosto andr\u00f2 in ferie.<br \/>\n<\/strong> I am going on vacation on August 1.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All other numbers use cardinals, even numbers ending in one like &#8220;twenty-first&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>You <strong>don&#8217;t need to use an article when specifying a day of the week<\/strong>. Unlike English, you don&#8217;t need commas. See examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Il volo di mercoled\u00ec 21 ottobre \u00e8 stato cancellato.<br \/>\n<\/strong> The Wednesday, October 21 flight has been cancelled.<\/li>\n<li><strong>La partita sar\u00e0 luned\u00ec 7 febbraio.<br \/>\n<\/strong> The match is scheduled for Monday, February 7.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-6886-_heading=h.6catx53r98eb\"><\/a><strong>Other expressions using the months in Italian<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s also useful to learn how to translate expressions such as &#8220;this month&#8221; or &#8220;next month&#8221;. <strong>Mese<\/strong>, the Italian word for month, is a masculine noun. It behaves slightly differently in Italian, as you can see in the table below.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>questo mese<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>this month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>ogni mese<\/strong> \/ <strong>tutti i mesi<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>every month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>il mese prossimo<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>next month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>il mese scorso<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>last month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>prima di&#8230;<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>before + month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>dopo&#8230;<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>after + month<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>You can also say <strong>il prossimo mese<\/strong> and <strong>lo scorso mese<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Il mese prossimo andremo a sciare.<br \/>\n<\/strong> Next month we will go skiing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lavo la macchina tutti i mesi.<br \/>\n<\/strong> I wash the car every month.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Questo mese dobbiamo svuotare l&#8217;armadio.<br \/>\n<\/strong> This month we have to empty the closet.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lo scorso mese siamo stati a Venezia.<br \/>\n<\/strong> Last month we were in Venice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dobbiamo finire il lavoro prima di agosto.<br \/>\n<\/strong> We have to finish the work before August.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Che mese viene dopo giugno?<br \/>\n<\/strong> What month comes after June?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a id=\"post-6886-_heading=h.ywo97lfadh34\"><\/a><strong>Holidays and celebrations throughout the year<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You may need to know the names of popular holidays in Italian.
