This is because people in old times added two months to synchronize with the seasons.There were only ten months based on the lunar calendar before, so it which was inconvenience inconvenient.
People didn't know when to prepare for winter or when to put plant seeds for crops.
In order to spend time in same season get the timing of the seasons right, they put added months. (I agree with Jesse's correction)
Notes:
"synchronize" isn't incorrect, but another word that most people would use is "coincide". To coincide with something means to "go along with", essentially the same as synchronize but used more often in situations were you're out of control of one of the things you're trying to synchronize.
"plant" as a verb means "to place into the ground". Very easy to remember, "You plant a plant in the ground" (verb and noun).
Your English is good, keep practicing and expanding your vocabulary : )
