October – el octubre
(Pronounced ock-too-bray)
To remember that October is pronounced ock-too-bray (octubre) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:
The octopus (October) could get through the octagonal tube to see her friend the ray (octubre).
NOTE: The way Mammoth Memory remembers October is to think of an octopus. 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 octubre, NOT Octubre.
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.
