1. January - January
The first month of the year in German is called "Januar". This month, as well as in many other countries, is marked by the beginning of a new year and the celebration of the New Year. In German, the pronunciation of "Januar" is similar to English, with the "J" pronounced as "Y".

The next month is "Februar", or February. German, like many other languages, adopts month names very similar to those of English and Latin. In February, many Germans enjoy the carnival, known as "Karneval" or "Fasching".
3. March - März
March in German is "März". This month marks the beginning of spring in Germany, a period when the flowers start to bloom and the temperature starts to rise. The pronunciation of "März" is similar to the word "more" in English, but with a rolled "r".
4. April - April
April is "April" in German. This month is known for the rains that bring the green of spring. A curiosity is that in Germany, as well as in many other countries, there is the tradition of "April Fool's Day", known as "Aprilscherz".
