Verb Conjugations??

I have only finished lesson 1.5 and am taking it rather easy so that I absorb all that is included in each lesson. I only wish I had had a resource like this when I tackled Spanish. Unlike Spanish I know no one who actually speaks German, so I have little help. My first Question is Are these verbs working somewhat like the Latin based languages in the conjugations? Examples Ich mochte ( how d'ya add the cymbals above the letters?) Mochten sie etc. I cant find this in the written material as promised in the audio portion. Thank you

Sorry bout that The next lesson answered the question.
