Guessing it is a difference in how sentence structure is when talking.
For us Americans, it is super easy to just say
Today is September 12th 2018
It would be long to say:
Today is the 12th day of September 2018 or any other variation of the ordering of the dates. Words need to be added in to make the sentence cohesive.
Yet when learning other languages, it seems their sentence structures are different than ours. Pronouns, verbs, ect all go in different places in a sentence compared to English. This may lead to stating the date as Amerians do to sound wrong for them in a sentence.
