Learning the months in Czech can be a bit difficult. Czech is one of the few European languages where the names of the months are not based on Latin. So of course, this makes it just a bit more difficult to learn. Here are some hints on how to remember each month. In Czech, the names of the months are not capitalized like they are in English.
January = leden (ice)
February = únor (melting ice)
March = březen (month of birch)
April = duben (month of oak)
May = květen (month of flowering)
June = červen (from červený, red...as in fruit)
July = červenec (more red...as in ripening fruit)
August = srpen (from srp, sickle...for harvest month)
September = září ("it shines" as in the sun shines without warming)
October = říjen (rutting season)
November = listopad (leaf falling month)
December = prosinec (from prosit to beg, to ask or to plead...think of kids wanting Christmas presents)
