German Month Names and Their Usage

Today, we'll learn German month names and how to use them correctly. It's quite straightforward!

Firstly, all German month names are masculine, so their article is always der. For instance, der Januar (January) or der Juli (July). This is a key rule to remember.

To say "in which month," we use im, which is short for "in dem." Look at these examples:

"I celebrate my birthday in January." - "Ich feiere Geburtstag im Januar."
"We go on vacation in July." - "Wir fahren im Juli in den Urlaub."

With der and im, mastering month names in German is simple. A little practice is all it takes!
