So in the US if you are telling someone a date you say something like 'June 5Th' (year is optional if in current year). How would people in other countries say it?

5th of June, or even still June 5th, because it doesn't have to match the order of the date format.

Also in all other languages where I know how to say the date it's some form of 5th (day of) June. While it is possible to have it the other way around it's really only found in old writings (June's 5th day).
