When learning Armenian, one of the most practical vocabulary sets to master early on includes the seasons and months of the year. These words are essential for everyday conversations — whether you’re discussing travel plans, birthdays, holidays, or even the weather.
Armenian, with its unique alphabet and ancient linguistic heritage, offers learners a fascinating experience. Yet despite its differences from Indo-European languages, many basic vocabulary items — like calendar terms — are surprisingly approachable once you start practicing.

How to Practice This Vocabulary
To retain these new words, consider using them in context. For example, try writing out the current month in Armenian on your calendar or saying the full date aloud each morning. Additionally, reviewing the seasons with examples from your own country can make memorization more personal and effective.
Also keep in mind that Armenian months are not capitalized unless they appear at the beginning of a sentence — a small grammatical detail that’s useful for writing practice.
