Los días de la semana - The days of the week
Notice that the days of the week in Spanish do not begin with a capital letter.

El fin de semana (the weekend) includes the days sábado and domingo.
A día feriado is a public holiday or a day without work or school. It is usually because of a special date in that country like the National Day (Día nacional) or the First day of the year.
The days of the week in Spanish are Masculine so we say:
- el lunes, el martes, el míercoles, el jueves, el viernes, el sábado, el domingo.
Note however that when we talk about the days in plural, as in Mondays or Fridays, only sábado and domingo have an S added in plural form.
- los lunes, los martes, los míercoles, los jueves, los viernes, los sábados, los domingos.

Pronunciation of the Months in Spanish
Now it is time to learn the pronunciation of months of the year in Spanish.
Angélica (from Chile) will say the name of each month in Spanish at a natural speed.
Listen once or twice to hear and get accustomed to the pronunciation of each month and then the next couple of times YOU try to say each month in Spanish at the same speed as Angélica says them.
Remember: The J at the beginning of JUNIO and JULIO is pronounced like an H in English.
