Quel âge as-tu?

Use the arrows on the bottom right of the video to enlarge.

Objective:

In this song we're covering five main things

the feminine form of numbers in Welsh
the way the 'year' mutates in Welsh according to the number that precedes it.
the different ways each language has to tell one's age (j'ai, I 'm etc.)
the different ways each language has to ask one's age (cf What age do you have - French; How much is your age - Welsh; How old are you - English)
the inversion of the verb and pronoun in the interrogative in French.

What you need to do:

Start by listening to the song. Then look at the lyrics in each language and listen to the song again, reading the lyrics as you go. Then listen how to say the lyrics, phrase by phrase. Then give singing along to the music a go!

You can choose how you want to work with the song; perhaps you want to split the class into different groups and each group takes it in turns to sing a different language.
