I will do Days of the week, months, and seasons this time. Months are a lot easier if you know the Sino-Korean number system.
Days of the week:
Sunday - 일요일 (eel-lyo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 이료일 - ee-lyo-eel)
Monday - 월요일 (weol-yo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 워료일 - Weo-lyo-eel)
Tuesday - 화요일 (hwa-yo-eel)
Wednesday - 수요일 (soo-yo-eel)
Thursday - 목요일 (mok-yo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 모교일 i Mo-gyo-eel)
Friday - 금요일 (Geum-yo-eel)(When pronouced it sounds like: 그묘일 - geu-myo-eel)
Saturday - 토요일 (to-yo-eel)
'요일' means 'Day of the week'.
Months:
January - 일월 (eel-wol)(Pronouced as: ee-lwol)
February - 이월 (ee-wol)
March - 삼월 (sahm-wol)(Pronouced as: sa-mwol)
April - 사월 (sa-wol)
May - 오월 (oh-wol)
June - 유월 (yoo-wol)
July - 칠월 (cheel-wol)(Pronouced as: chee-lwol)
August - 팔월 (pahl-wol)(Pronouced as: pa-lwol)
September - 구월 (goo-wol)
October - 시월 (shi-wol)
November - 십일월 (ship-eel-wol)(Pronouced as: ship-ee-lwol)
December - 십이월 (ship-ee-wol)
'월' means 'month'. The reason why the months are easy if you know the Sino-Korean number system is because the months are called after the number they are, January is the first month, so it is 일월, 일 is the number '1'.
December is the 12th month, so it is 십이월, 십이 is the number '12'.
Seasons:
Spring - 봄 (Bom)('B' has a soft pronoucion)
Summer - 여름 (yeo-leum)
Autumn/Fall - 가을(ga-eul)
Winter - 겨울 (Kyeo-ool)
How to tell the date / how to tell someone your birth year:
In korea the date goes like this: YEAR/MONTH/DAY while in the US it is MONTH/DAY/YEAR. In korea we say the year first, then the month, then the day.
To tell someone what the date is, like to tell someone it is 2011/11/16, you would use '2011년 11월 16일' when typing it or writing it. But to say it you would say: 이천십일년 십일월 십육일(ee-chun-ship-eel-nyeon ship-eel-wol ship-yook-eel)
To make it easier to pronouce I will put it like this: 이천십일년(ee-chun-ship-eel-nyeon) 십일월(ship-eel-wol) 십육일(ship-yook-eel)
년 - Year (Nyeon)
월 - Month (Wol)
일 - Day (eel)
To tell someone your birth year, you do the same thing as to tell someone the date.
Like I would tell someone 천구백구십육년 십이월 십이일(chun-goo-baek-goo-ship-yook-nyeon ship-ee-wol ship-ee-eel), If I was to type that on the computer I would put '1996년 12월 12일'.
Another birth year example is 천구백구십칠년 십일월 십사일(chun-goo-baek-goo-ship-cheel-nyeon ship-eel-wol ship-sa-eel) which is '1997년 11월 14일'.
That is all, I hope I helped. ^^
