Now to move on to asking someone how old they are.

How old are you? - ¿Cuántos años tienes? (kw-an-tos a-nyos tee-enes)
I am ... years old - Tengo ... años (tengo ... an-yos)

When telling someone your age "Tengo ... años" (your age in Spanish - ...) you are actually saying "I have ... years". Instead of "I am ... years old"
