In this lesson, we're going to practice saying dates. Here's a date, it just happens to be my birthday. So in written American English, the month is first, then the day and then the year. spoken, you have two ways how you can say it. One way is for Sunday, and then the month, the 26th of March 1961, the 26th of March 1961. Now, you have to say, the 26th of March.

Another way It might be easier, first you say the month and then the day So, March 26 1961, March 26 1961. When you say it this way, you don't have to say learn how to say the years starting from 2000 from 2000 to 2009, you just say 2000 plus the number or you could say 2000 and plus the number. Examples 2004 or 2004. Now note, the end is pronounced, huh, you don't say 2004 You say 2004 2004 How do you say the years starting from 2010 you just say 2000 plus the number. Or you can say 20 plus the number. Examples 2010 or 2010 2010 or 2010 2018 or 2018 2018 or 2018.
