Mammoth Memory

January – el enero

PRONUNCIATION

(Pronounced eh-neh-roh)

To remember that January is pronounced eh-neh-roh (enero) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

The janitor (January) had a huge clear up operation when an aeroplane (enero) crashed into the grounds of the building he looked after.

The janitor had a huge clear up operation when an aeroplane crashed in to the grounds of the building he looked after.

NOTE: Mammoth Memory remembers January by thinking of a janitor. See our Remembering Months section.

Please also note that names of the months in Spanish do NOT have a capital letter at the start, so it's enero, NOT Enero.

 

In Spanish, all of the months of the year are masculine, so it’s el enero, el febrero, el marzo, el abril, el mayo, el junio, el julio, el agosto, el septiembre, el octubre, el noviembre and el diciembre.

 

Imagine elephants that take a bath once a month.
