In French when you talk about ages you don't say "I am 21 years old": instead you say "I have 21 years". Equally, when you ask the question "how old are you?" or "what age are you", you actually ask "what age do you have". Here are the phrases you'll need:
I'm (21) years old - "j'ai (21) ans"
How old are you? (informal) - "Quel âge as-tu ?"
How old are you? (formal) - "Quel âge avez-vous?"
In the first part of the video, watch the interviews without subtitles and try to understand. In the second part of the video, we've provided subtitles in French at the top of the screen. You can choose to turn on subtitles in English using the Subtitles/CC button.
In this first series of Coffee Break French To Go, Pierre-Benoît is in the town of Pornic, in the west of France, and in each episode she'll ask passers-by one question. Of course, that one question will result in many answers, and it's through these answers that you can practise your French and build your vocabulary.
Coffee Break French To Go will be published every two weeks here on KZfaq, and each Season will be filmed in a different part of the French-speaking world.
If you'd prefer not to wait for all 10 lessons of Season 1 to be published, you can access downloadable versions of the videos along with audio versions and lesson notes / transcripts in the Coffee Break Academy:
