The days of the week and the months of the year are similar to my language Luganda spoken in Uganda.
There are two ways of saying the days of the week and two ways for saying the months of the year. it also helps to know the numbers from one to ten to be able to learn the days of the week and months of the year,

Great vid! Suturday isn't know as 'umunsi wanyuma' . Howevs, this applies to Sunday as it is the last day. And yes 'umunsi wanyuma' translates to 'the last day( of the week)'
