Months and Seasons

How to use these phrases

In Chinese, months are very easy! Just say the number + "月" (yuè), which means "month". January is "一月", February is "二月", March is "三月", and so on. The four seasons are: - Spring: 春天 (chūn tiān) - Summer: 夏天 (xià tiān) - Autumn: 秋天 (qiū tiān) - Winter: 冬天 (dōng tiān) In Chinese, the year starts with the Spring Festival (春节), which usually falls in January or February. That is why spring is considered the beginning of the year! What is your favorite month and season? Say it in Chinese!
