I mesi dell'anno

Ciao, ragazzi!  Oggi abbiamo imparato dei mesi dell'anno.  (Today we learned about the months of the year.)

You matched up flashcards with holidays to their correct date, and you noticed that by using cognates (words that are similar in Italian and English or Spanish), by using clues like pictures and numbers, and common sense strategies like process of elimination.

We practiced a song to help us with the pronunciation.  The words are below and Giovanni made a video to help you remember the tune.  He did it during 5th period and they were a little rowdy, so he apologizes for the background noise!

marzo

Questi sono i mesi dell'anno!

Here's a video of that guy with the guitar for additional review!
