Los días

The days of the week begin with Monday in Hispanic countries, rather than Sunday. So the week runs from Monday through Sunday. Be careful when someone tells you "at the beginning of the week." Ask for a specific day.

The most important things to remember about the days of the week is that

like months and seasons, days of the week are not capitalized

lunes	Monday	jueves	Thursday
martes	Tuesday	viernes	Friday
miércoles	Wednesday	sábado	Saturday
		domingo	Sunday

all days of the week are masculine: el lunes, el martes, el miércoles, el jueves, el viernes, etc.
you use the definite articles (el, los) to express "on":

for example, "I study on Fridays" is expressed as Yo estudio los viernes.

"I will start on Monday" is expressed as Empiezo el lunes.

To say that "Today is Monday," we do not need to use an article - just as in English: Hoy es lunes.

How do I say the date?

What are the months and seasons?
