Spanish Age
In Spanish you have age, like in French. In French you would say, J'ai vingt ans, literally, I have twenty years. Once you speak French fluently, you don't even have to think about it. The correct phrase just pops into your brain and out of your mouth. I hope that eventually the same will apply to Spanish which I am learning with the help of duolingo, which I have installed on both my laptop and my mobile phone.
