Monday - Getsuyoobi
Tuesday - Kayoobi

Next we have the months:

June: Roku-gatsu
July: Shichi-gatsu
August: Hachi-gatsu

Now I am going to show you how to ask someone what the day and also what date it is.
“What day is it today?”
“Kyoo wa nan yoobi desu ka”
“What date is it today?”
“Kyoo wa nan gatsu nan nichi desu ka”
A little Weather Talk to Fill the Awkward Silence …
If you are lost for word you can always resort to commenting on the weather(tenki). So here are a few useful weather phrases to drop:
“It’s hot isn’t it”
“Atsui desu ne”
“It’s Hot”
“Atsui Desu”
“It’s warm”
“Atatakai desu”
“Its a beautiful day”
“Ii tenki desu”
All the best!
