Saying you cannot learn how to write and say the
months of the
year in Mandarin Chinese is so last year. And that’s because
underestimating yourself is so last season and out of
season. Why would you do even that to yourself, especially
when learning a new language like
Mandarin Chinese
is just right in front of you? So take a breather and shake
off those pesky and icky I-cannot-do-this thoughts. You
don’t need them. All you need are two things: this list and
trust that you’re going to learn this vocabulary set.
The
months of the year
in Mandarin Chinese are easy to remember because they are
numbered in order from 1 to 12. Really, the months are
numbered in order from 1 to 12. So if you think about it, the months kind of help you
with your counting (in Mandarin Chinese as well). Kind of
neat, huh.
