From Lesson 47:Months of the year·Spanish (Spain)

Questions & Answers about Siempre visito a mi abuela en mayo y junio.

Why aren't mayo and junio capitalized?
In Spanish, the months of the year are always written with lowercase letters, unlike in English. The same rule applies to the days of the week. So, we write mayo and junio instead of Mayo and Junio.
Which word do we use for "in" when talking about months?
We use the word en. Just like in English, when you want to say that something happens in a certain month, you put en right before the month, as in en mayo y junio.
Why is there an a between visito and mi abuela?
This is known as the "personal a". In Spanish, whenever the direct object of a verb (the person receiving the action) is a specific person or a beloved pet, you must put the word a right before it. Since you are visiting your grandmother, you must say visito a mi abuela.
Where is the word for "I" in this sentence?
The "I" is built right into the verb. The verb visitar (to visit) changes to visito to mean "I visit". Because the -o ending already tells us who is doing the action, you do not need to include the pronoun yo (I) unless you want to add special emphasis.
