The Months in Swedish
All 12 month names with English, free to learn in your browser.
Most Swedish month names look close to the English ones, which makes them an easy early win. Two things to watch: they are written in lowercase, and a few are spelled differently, such as maj (May), juni (June) and juli (July).
