Ich trinke- I drink/I am drinking (present tense)
Ich werde trinken (future tense)
Ich werde trinken (future tense)

Understandable, however, that is how Fluenz translated it... that is what confused me

I realize this is an old thread, but I'll add to it as it is still unanswered. I just encountered the same issue in German 3 Level 7 where the English translations provided by Fluenz use future tense where the German is present tense.
Some examples from the level:
"Sie spricht morgen mit Oliver" is translated *by Fluenz* as "She'll speak with Oliver tomorrow"
"Ich trinke da drüben einen Orangensaft" as "I'll drink an orange juice over there"
"Ich nehme das mit Pommes" as "I'll take it with fries"
Is the English translation provided by Fluenz just incorrect, or is there another explanation? Note: Up until this point in the lessons, nothing has been taught regarding future tense. Thank you~

Update: For anyone encountering this issue in German 3 Level 7, Nora addresses the topic of using present tense in German to refer to the future about 8 minutes into the video lesson in German 3 Level 8. To the Fluenz team, it might be better to introduce this topic in the lessons prior to the exercises.
