You can learn the days of the week in French by singing this children's song:

lε̃di matε̃,	[On] Monday morning	Lundi matin,
lə ʁwɑ, la ʁεn	The king, the queen	Le roi, sa femme
e lə pti pʁε̃sə	And the young prince	et le p’tit prince
so͂ vəny ʃe mwa	Came to my house	Sont venus chez moi,
puʁ mə sεʁe la pε̃sə	To shake my hand	pour me serrer la pince.
kɔm ʒetε paʁti,	Since I was gone	Comme j’étais parti,
lə pti pʁε̃sεs a di	The young prince said	Le p’tit prince a dit :
pɥiskə sε tε̃si	Because of this	“Puisque c’est ainsi
nu ʁəvjε̃dʁo͂ mɑʁdi !"	We'll return on Tuesday	nous reviendrons mardi.”

 

The original words for this song said "l'empereur, sa femme et le p'tit prince" (the emperor, his wife and the young prince). The emperor in this song was Napoléon Trois (Napoleon III = Napoleon the Third, nephew of the more famous Napoleon I).

Notice how in modern French, most people now DON'T say /lœ̃di/ (but you will see this  old pronunciation in most dictionaries). 

lundi

lε̃di
