Introduction
\n
Talking about days, months, and seasons is one of the most useful skills in English. Every day we say things like “Today is Sunday” or “My birthday is in July.” In the Algerian middle school curriculum (My Book of English, 1AM), this vocabulary is essential for daily communication. Let’s learn them step by step!
\n
التحدث عن أيام الأسبوع والشهور والفصول من أهم المهارات في اللغة الإنجليزية. كل يوم نقول “Today is Sunday” أو “My birthday is in July”. هذا الدرس يساعدك على حفظ هذه المفردات مع النطق الصحيح.
\n\n
Part 1 — Days of the Week (أيام الأسبوع)
\n\n

Important Notes:

- The first day of the week in English calendars is Sunday (not Monday like in Arabic calendars)
