The feminine singular "ihr" looks and sounds roughly like its English counterpart "her." The 3rd person plural form is also "ihr" except in the Dative, the "she" pronouns are always the same as the "they" pronouns For the possessives, note "mein," "dein" and "sein" rhyme.For the "we" forms, note nominative "wir" sounds like English "we," and accusative and dative "uns" sounds like English "us.".

The third person singular and plural pronouns roughly rhyme with the corresponding forms of "der/das/die" in the Nominative, Accusative and Dative: er der, ihn den, ihm dem, sie die, sie die, ihr der, es das, es das, ihm dem, and in the 3rd person plural sie die, sie die, ihnen den (sort of).To remember the accusative prepositions, use the acronym "O Fudge", or ask your instructor about chanting "Durch-für-gegen-ohne-um, Deutsch zu lernen ist nicht dumm." For the dative prepositions, sing "Aus-außer-bei-mit, nach-seit, von-zu" to the tune of the "Blue Danube" waltz, or think of the touching love poem "Roses are red, violets are blue, aus-außer-bei-mit, nach-seit, von-zu.".

For the Genitive, the -s and -r endings are like the endings of English "his" and "her.".

For the Dative, the -m and -r endings are like the endings of English "him" and "her" as in "for him" and "for her.".
