a is pronounced ah, as in mama.
e is pronounced ay, as in say.
i is pronounced ee, as in he and see.
o is pronounced oh, as in no and know.
u is pronounced oo, as in boo, loon, and soon.
With the Kanji:
January, ichigatsu, 一月
February, nigatsu, 二月
March, sangatsu, 三月
April, shigatsu, 四月
May, gogatsu, 五月
June, rokugatsu, 六月
July, shichigatsu, 七月
August, hachigatsu, 八月
September, kugatsu, 九月
October, jūgatsu, 十月
November, jūichigatsu, 十一月
December, jūnigatsu, 十二月
(yongatsu for April and nanagatsu for July are generally not used today).
Now you can see that gatsu 月 is month, and that the numbers are:
1, one, ichi, 一
2, two, ni, 二
3, three, san, 三
4, four, shi or yon, 四
5, five, go, 五
6, six, roku, 六
