German is a funny language sometimes. You learn a
word like fahren (to drive) and you think,
“Great, I know this word!” But then German plays a little trick.
When you say I drive, it stays I
drive. But when you say he drives,
suddenly the word changes a little and becomes he
drives. Same idea, same time, just a tiny vowel jump in
the middle! It's a bit like English sing – sang,
where the sound changes. German just likes to do this little
sound switch even when we are still talking about right now.
Don't worry — once you see the pattern, it's actually quite
fun.
