How old are you? 何歳ですか？
0 から 10 までの数字（zero~ten）と年齢の言い方を学びます。年齢は be 動詞で尋ねます：How old are you? — I am ten。（多くの言語と違い、英語には「歳」にあたる語がなく、数字だけを使います。）新しい文法はなく、be を再び使います。発音コーナーでは、学習者が分けて読みがちな子音連続（three /θr/, twelve /lv/, six /ks/, twenty /nt/）を練習します——数字は子音連続が多く、最適な教材です。

Grammar
Asking age: How old are you? 年齢を尋ねる：How old are you?
There is no new grammar here — age uses the verb "be" you already know. Ask with "How old + are/is + subject?": How old are you? How old is he? Answer with "be" + the number alone: I am ten. She is eight. English does NOT add a word for "years old" at A1 level — just the number. (You can say "ten years old" later, but "I am ten" is complete.) Note: Korean counts age its own way; in English you simply give the number after "am/is/are".
ここに新しい文法はありません——年齢はすでに知っている "be" 動詞を使います。"How old + are/is + 主語?" で尋ねます：How old are you? How old is he? 答えは "be" + 数字だけ：I am ten. She is eight. A1 レベルでは英語は「歳」にあたる語を足しません——数字だけです。（後で "ten years old" と言えますが、"I am ten" で完全な文です。）注：年齢の数え方が独自の言語もありますが、英語は "am/is/are" の後に数字を言うだけです。
- How old are you? — I am ten. /haʊ oʊld ɑːr juː aɪ æm ten/ 何歳ですか？ — 私は十歳です。
- How old is she? — She is eight. /haʊ oʊld ɪz ʃiː ʃiː ɪz eɪt/ 彼女は何歳ですか？ — 八歳です。
- My brother is five. The baby is one. /maɪ ˈbrʌðər ɪz faɪv ðə ˈbeɪbi ɪz wʌn/ 私の弟は五歳です。赤ちゃんは一歳です。
