3️⃣ Expression Tips & Cultural Notes

• Korean months are simply Sino-Korean numbers + 월 (wol).

  → e.g. 일월 (January), 이월 (February), 삼월 (March).

  
  

• June (유월) and October (시월) are exceptions for smoother pronunciation.

  
  

• To say “in [month],” use [month] + 에 (e).→ “오월에 여행해요.” = I travel in May.

  
  

• Seasons:

  봄 (bom) – spring 🌸

  여름 (yo-reum) – summer ☀️

  가을 (ga-eul) – autumn 🍂

  겨울 (gyeo-ul) – winter ❄️

  
  

• Culturally, Koreans love to talk about weather and seasons during small talk —so knowing these words helps you sound friendly and natural!
