When talking about months in Dutch, you'll find that many of them, like 'juli,' are quite similar to their English counterparts. This makes learning them a bit easier! However, it's good to remember that in Dutch, months are not capitalized unless they start a sentence. So, you'll write 'juli' with a lowercase 'j' in the middle of a sentence, but 'Juli is een mooie maand' when it begins the sentence.
