August – el agosto

PRONUNCIATION

(Pronounced ah-gos-toh)

To remember that August is pronounced ah-gos-toh (agosto) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:

A gust of wind (August) blows us up into the sky just as I go to tow (agosto) the caravan. 

NOTE: The way Mammoth Memory remembers August is to think of a gust of wind. 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 agosto, NOT Agosto.

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.
