Months and seasons in Portuguese

Months and seasons are everyday essentials, and the Portuguese months are close enough to English that you already half-know them.

The twelve months

The four seasons

Two things to remember

• No capital letters — months are lowercase: O meu aniversário é em maio.
• Saying dates: use (no) dia + number + de + month: no dia 5 de maio, or simply 5 de maio.

Good pronunciation practice here: the nasal endings in março, junho, julho and especially verão (summer).

Make them stick by saying them

Months settle in through use. Navoq has you say dates and plans in real Portuguese sentences out loud, with pronunciation feedback — so birthdays and bookings come easily.
