Answer

May first, or the first of may is fine even if you see it written as May 1st.

Answer

It doesn't help that the day-month order is different between English speaking countries. ;)  Stick with the order you see.  So:

"May 1st" is "May the first", or simply "May first".

"1 May" is "the first of May" (sometimes written as "1st May", but that's a little confusing - the first May of how many Mays?? Better to write "the 1st of May").
