Video of class lecture slides introducing German modal verbs. The video begins first with an example in English before moving over to an examination of modal verbs in German. After discussing the meaning of the German modal verbs and how to decline them, the video ends with a look at the verb "mögen."
Please note: The indicative form of the verb "mögen" is not used as a modal verb:
"Ich mag dich"
The subjunctive II form of the verb is used as a modal:
"Ich möchte ein Bier trinken"
The video is not clear on this point, thus the clarification here.

01:01 Example of a modal verb in English
02:12 Example of modal verb in German
03:59 Overview of German modal verbs
05:19 The subjunctive form of the verb "mögen"
