Dan here again. I'm playing catch up on adding useful tricks and tips. Here are some more mnemonic devices for remembering lists in German:
Accusative Prepositions to the tune of "Camptown Races":
Durch, für, gegen, ohne, um, doo-dah, doo-dah,
Durch, für, gegen, ohne, um, oh doo-dah-day.
Dative Prepositions to the tune of Strauss' "The Blue Danube":
Aus, außer, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu
Possessive Pronouns to the tune of "O My Darlin' Clementine":
Mein und meine,
dein und deine,
sein und seine, ihre, ihr,
unser, unsre,
euer, eure,
sein und seine, ihre, ihr
I'm a newbie at this blogging thing, so including mpegs is something I'll have to work on. Nevertheless, a quick search will turn up these melodies if they aren't coming to mind right away. The words for each will fall fairly intuitively into place.
