Learning назва́ния [names] of the months in Russian language is легко́ [easy]! Since they are based on the Latin names, Russian ме́сяцы [months] are easily recognizable when they are written or pronounced. Basically, say the months по-англи́йски [in English] with a heavy Russian accent, and you are good to go! Шу́тка! [Kidding]! Since the names are very close, it is ва́жно [important] to pay attention to the way ме́сяцы [months] are spelled and pronounced по-ру́сски [in Russian]. Remember that ме́сяцы го́да [months of the year] are not capitalized в ру́сском языке́ [in Russian language].
