January = Yi yue February = Er yue March = San yue April = Si = yue May = Wu yue June = Liu yue July = Qi yue August = Ba yue September = Jiu yue October = Shi yue November = Shi yi yue December = Shi er yue Yue = month so literally first month= January, second month February etc...

question whats the diff between Qiao and Xiao

Post by englishrose85 on Nov 13, 2007 19:06:23 GMT -5
You mean in pronounciation? Cos they are both pronounced differently...Qiao is more of a 'chee-ow' sound and Xiao is more of a 'she-ow' sound. Hope that helps ;D
Jolene bie ku!
bie = don't
ku = cry
