Even if your Spanish is very basic, knowledge of these terms could help you to make appointments (both professionally and casually), have conversations about the weather and understand directions.

If you are at the beginner level in learning Spanish online, and have already learned how to say hello in Spanish and other basic words and phrases, learning the days of the week, months and seasons in Spanish is considered a vital element of your Spanish vocabulary. The good news is that you should be able to memorise and master these terms relatively easily so, without any further ado, let’s take a look!
