The Day and Months in Japanese Language

This lesson will list the names of the months and the days of the weeks.
You also will notice that the Kanji has been added after the hiragana.
The reason I have added kanji to this section is that one should get familiar with these kanji as they will been seen often when in Japan because of the importance of the days of the week and months.
