Months
Constructing the names of Korean months is simple because one just has to add the number of the month (1 for January, 2 for February, etc…) to the word 월. Sino-Korean numbers are used for months.

Particles are omnipresent in Korean. They indicate the role of words in a sentence, nuance meaning, and make it possible to understand who does what, where, how, and why.
Particles are also often the aspect that causes the most difficulty for Korean learners. In grammar books, they are usually presented in the middle of long sentences, with complex vocabulary, without being clearly highlighted.
