Face it. There are going to be some words you just have to learn to get by in French — little words, like days of the week and months of the year. You may find it helpful to read these word lists out loud a few times, memorizing them by rote, just like students do in school. When said out loud in a series, these groups have a catchy rhythm, so it shouldn't take you long to have them down pat.
