Dates in British English: day + month + year
📅 7th July 2019
Pronunciation: The seventh of July, two thousand and nineteen or twenty nineteen (2019).
Have you noticed the article THE and the preposition OF? We do not put them when we write the date, but we DO pronounce them. We say THE seventh OF July and not seven July.
Days
Whenever we write or say a date, unlike what you do in Spanish, we use the ordinal number and not the cardinal number. For us: January 1st, February 2nd, March 3rd, April 4th ... Anyway, here is a tablet with the ordinals you need for the dates in English:
