"La mia griglia arriva a giugno."
Translation:My grill arrives in June.

there's a reply in another thread, but I'd say it here: a giugno = in June, but in giugno = every June.

No "in giugno" is not different from "a giugno." In and a are largely interchangeable. A is more casual and preferred in the South. See this article: https://www.thoughtco.com/italian-vocabulary-italian-calendar-months-4087628
Although it was suggested in a few DL exercises to use the indefinitive article to imply the regular frequencies of time, day, month, etc, it is better that one use "ogni" to mean "every", i.e. "ogni giugno" so to avoid ambiguity.

... (pouty face) it is in Canada!!! Okay, technically not exactly the same, I agree. But the words tend to get used interchangeably where I live. And, it does show BBQ in the list of translations when you hover.
No, but barbecue is an accepted translation of griglia in most dictionaries
Perhaps where you live, but in Australia a Barbecue runs on gas, and the word grill is used for the cooking method or oven setting
In Australia a BBQ runs on gas, wood, briquettes or anything that burns as long as it is outside the house proper, and only the male of the species is permitted to use it (In mixed company, that is). The female of the species has the privilege of cleaning up afterwards.
Still not accepting barbeque. Very annoying. Grill is merely part of oven to many of us, used like a horizontal toaster.
Maybe where you come from. In Ireland it's the thing you cook on. And GoogleTranslate translates griglia as barbecue
I don't know if anyone here speaks Chinese. But I just can't remember the whole June and July thing in Italian! "Giugno" sounds EXACTLY like September in Chinese and "Luglio" sounds EXACTLY like June in Chinese!
Oh yes! I had not noticed! But now I will notice and get them muddled every time hahaha.
@laurencheungpm I speak Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese. Somehow I don't see how "giugno" and "luglio" sound like the 9th and 6th month. Is it a particular Chinese dialect?

δΉζ(jiu yue) and ε ζ(liu yue) sound very vaguely like giugno and luglio. Not close at all tho
I had the same question.
It is because they distinguish between arrives and comes, although they mean almost the same thing. I definitely think that it would be correct if a person were checking it, but it is only a machine- very technically oriented. Sometimes too technical.
Because that would be easy for people to learn! Have to make people think a bit, after all...
Guillhez and wshvet: True and July is named after Julius Caesar; if only he were called Gulius we'd probably have Guly....yes, Augustus gets us August, even if he was born Octavio. October was already claimed as the 8th month before adding the extra two to give us 12! 10Sep15 (yeah, September was the 7th month and November the 9th..go figure!)
Either is correct. It is mentioned in the overview to the lessons about time by Duo

Sometimes "griglio" is translated here as "grid" and sometimes as "grill" (especially in the corresponding TinyCards deck) and they shouldn't penalize you for picking one of the choices when they randomly pick the other one, switching every question
Why is the translation of "griglia" "grill" in this case/app but in the tinycards app it is "grid"?
Doesn't accept the English : my grill arrives June. Must have the 'in' I suppose!
This is mis-keyed. Do you want the phrase in English. Do you want it written in French. Both answer get an excellent comment but are still wrong
The "a" blends in with the last a in "arriva" i couldn't hear the first or at all i guess
