Seasons and Months of the year in Portuguese

If you’re beginning to learn Portuguese, understanding how to talk about the calendar is an essential early step. Whether you’re planning a trip, describing the weather, or discussing dates, knowing the names of the seasons and months will help you speak with more confidence and accuracy.

Portuguese is spoken in Portugal, Brazil, and several other countries, which makes it a valuable language for travel and international communication. Fortunately, the vocabulary for months and seasons is quite similar to English and other Romance languages, especially when it comes to spelling.

Names of the Months in Portuguese

Now, let’s look at the names of the twelve months. These are used frequently in daily life — for example, when setting appointments or talking about your birthday. Many of the month names in Portuguese closely resemble their English counterparts, but don’t forget to pay attention to the accent marks and pronunciation.

Helpful Learning Tips

To memorize these terms more easily, try using them in short sentences or labeling a calendar with the Portuguese names. For instance, write “março” instead of “March” and say it out loud each day. Over time, repetition will help reinforce your memory.

Also, remember that months in Portuguese are not capitalized, which is a helpful grammar point to keep in mind as you begin writing in the language.
