Jokes on you, I can't fucking rember which English month is which. April, May, July and Autum is just a grey mass to me.

Autumn is a season lol

I think you mean August.

September, October, November and December are easy to remember because they're Roman numbers. 7-10 But two off because at some point they added July and August to honor Julius Augustus. So "month seven" is the 9th month.

Honestly I do remember some months, like starting and ending of the year. I don't encounter English month names on a regular enough basis to remember their order and my month names in no way relate to English ones.

So anything after February and before August I have to google each time I encounter them.

It doesn't help that we don't even have month abbreviations like English does (Jan, Feb, etc.).
