different between か and が
I am trying to learn the months in Japanese. The word for month is gatsu 月 (かつ), but when I check, か is pronounced ka, not ga and I'm a little confused. Am I understanding something wrong?
I think that your source must have transcribed the reading wrong. The readings for 月 are:
つき (tsuki) when standalone speaking about the moon
がつ (gatsu) when in reference to the months (January, etc.)
げつ (getsu) when counting months as a time frame 二ヶ月 (nika/getsu, two months).
I hope that helps!

Every month 1 to 12 you have to say "gatsu".
ichi-gatsu
ni-gatsu
san-gatsu

There is actually no "katsu" reading for 月.
There are "getsu" or "gatsu" besides "tsuki" for example
夕月 (yuu getsu)
年月 (nen getsu) -> time
正月 (shou gatsu) -> new year
一ヶ月 (ikka getsu) -> one month = for all numbers
But if you learn "Japanese" month of the year, it will be more difficult, junior high school students would learn it at school.
Mutsuki = Jan
Kisaragi = Feb
Yayoi = Mar
Uzuki = Apr
Satsuki = May

I wish that you did not mention it.
