In this episode of Better German, host Susi Blümel explains how
German verbs (words like walk, eat, sleep) work in the present.
She shows the simple patterns behind regular verbs and their
endings, step by step, with examples like go, live, come, and
play. You'll also learn tips for practicing out loud, writing
verb lists, and using a free PDF worksheet to make the rules
stick. By the end, you'll see that verbs in the present are
easier than they seem—and you'll be ready to use them in everyday
conversations with confidence.
Introduction
Welcome to another episode of Better German! Verbs are the engine
of every sentence—and in German, they don't stay the same. They
change depending on who is speaking:
ich,
du, er/sie/es
( I, you, he, she, it). At first, this
can feel confusing, but don't worry—regular verbs follow simple
rules.
In this episode, Susi compares how verbs change in English and
German, and shares easy examples you'll recognize right away.
With her step-by-step method, you'll see that learning verb
endings is not only possible but actually quite fun.
