March – el marzo

PRONUNCIATION

(Pronounced mar-thoh)

To remember that March is pronounced mar-thoh (marzo) in European Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

The elephants were on the march (March) but they stopped when they saw ma throw (marzo) some food for them.

NOTE: The way Mammoth Memory remembers March is think of march, or marching. 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 marzo, NOT Marzo.

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.
