The poster “Work week in English with emoticons” will help you quickly and easily remember the English names of the days of the week

Rhyming words are the easiest to remember. So quickly and effortlessly you can remember Sunday ["sʌndeɪ] – Monday ["mʌndeɪ](Sunday - Monday), Tuesday ["tjuːzdɪ] – Thursday ["θɜːzdeɪ](Tuesday - Thursday). To avoid confusion Tuesday – Thursday, just remember that on Thursdays there is thunder and lightning, because as we previously found out, Thursday comes from English word"thunder" - thunder, and this day belonged to the noisy god Thor.

Word "Friday" ["fraɪdeɪ] is associated with the word "free" - free, and many perceive Friday as the beginning free time– free, personal time. Saturday ["sætədeɪ]- Saturn day! All that remains is to remember the word Wednesday ["wenzdeɪ]– Wednesday.

In conclusion:

Finally, I would like to cite the statement of the American Richard Balls, author of the world bestseller “What Color is Your Parachute?” With these two sentences, you will not only easily learn the days of the week with prepositions, but also take one step closer to the English-speaking culture:

Youth is like a long weekend on Friday night. Middle age is like a long weekend on Monday afternoon. (lane Youth is like a long weekend on Friday night. Middle age is like a long Monday afternoon off.)

The first thing they teach in the courses foreign language, is the ability to tell about yourself. And for beginners it is not a problem to come up with a banal sentence: “ My name is Kolya, I am learning English" Difficulties arise with the use of more common expressions, where in addition to what you are doing, you also need to indicate when, where or with whom. And today, having learned the days of the week in English with pronunciation, we will learn to use them as a simple addition and as independent sentences denoting a date.

Words that name the days of the week in English belong to the everyday vocabulary of the language, because the need to designate a specific day arises quite often. Before moving on to learning the words themselves, let us note a few interesting and important cases of their use in the English-speaking environment.

• All countries use the traditional seven-day week system, but countries such as Canada, the United States and Israel count the new week from Sunday. At the same time, workdays still begin on Monday and end on Friday. This point is important to consider if you are planning to visit a country with a similar calendar.
• The designation of a specific date begins with the day of the week: Friday, August 18, 2017. By the way, abbreviations are not made exactly as in Russian. In order to shorten the name of the day, simply take the first two or three letters of the word: Mo./Mon., Su./Sun., We./Wed, etc. In some calendars, the day of the week is even designated by the first letter.
• Grammatically English days weeks are proper nouns and are always capitalized. This rule also applies to abbreviated forms.

Remember these features, as they are important for developing competent English speech. Now let’s find out how to pronounce the names of the days correctly.

Days of the week in English with pronunciation, transcription and Russian translation

In order to make it easier to learn the names, we will analyze each word separately and using the example of everyday situations. To practice correct pronunciation, use the transcription provided.

Common names

You can designate all days of the week at once phrasal construction daysoftheweek/deɪz əv ðə wiːk/. Saturday and Sunday also have a general meaning; they can be called weekend/wiːkɛnd/.

Tuesday

Tuesday is indicated by the word Tuesday. The name is pronounced /tjuːzdeɪ/ or /tjuːzdi/. Be careful, it is often confused with something similar in spelling Thursday, which denotes Thursday!

Wednesday

Wednesday– this is what Wednesday is called in English. It has two transcriptions, like the words that were pronounced above: /wenzdeɪ/ or /wenzdi/.

Thursday

So we have come to studying the word Thursday, which was mentioned when introducing Tuesday. To never confuse them, you need to reliably remember the correct spelling and sound of each word. So, in English this day of the week is written Thursday and is pronounced /θə:zdeɪ/, or /θə:zdi/.

Friday

The last day of the working week in Russian is Friday, and in English Friday. The word has the same types of transcriptions that we studied when introducing other days: /fraideɪ/ and /fraidi/.

Saturday

Sabbath in English is called Saturday, and has the transcription /sætədeɪ/ and /sætədi/.

Sunday

Last day off, i.e. Sunday, in English called Sunday. Let's learn his pronunciation: /sΛndei/, /sΛndi/.

So, we learned how the days of the week are indicated in English, got acquainted with their pronunciation, translation and application in practice. All that remains is to learn how to easily and quickly memorize the vocabulary of the lesson.

Learn the days of the week in 5 minutes

In order to quickly master the material or explain it in an accessible form to the child, we will resort to the method of associations. All days of the week can be compared with already familiar words that will be consonant with their pronunciation. Or choose a musical tune and sing the names of the days of the week to the children.

Associations and consonances

Song to learn
