To keep things manageable for this beginner's course, we're going to work with the Possessivartikel (the possessive articles) in the Nominative case only. (The Nominative case is one of four cases in German, and these are the only four ways anything can be expressed in German. We'll cover that in the following lessons.) Seeing as there are 36 possessive articles per case, that makes a total of 144 possessive articles for you to learn (36 articles x 4 cases = 144 articles). So you can see why we're only going to cover them in one case. This is also why we heartily recommend you only work on them in one case at a time.

First we will cover die Deklination im Akkusativ and then we'll explore the Dativ. We hope you'll find these so helpful you'll refer to them again and again! Review the transcript, study the lesson and do the quizzes: www.newsinslowgerman.com/series/guts/25/transcript
This is one of the most important points in German, and the German language is (in)famous for its endings, so you've likely heard of them already. Here you want to be sure to take small steps and you want to avoid trying to learn all the endings in all the cases all at once. It bears repeating to be sure to learn these adjective endings one case at a time. Review the transcript, study the lesson and do the quizzes: www.newsinslowgerman.com/series/guts/24/transcript

These Wechselpräpositionen are also known as the "two-way prepositions." You could also think of them as double-use prepositions or change-up prepositions. To understand how that double-use functions, you need to already be familiar with the Akkusativ and the Dativ, which you are. First we'll look at the prepositions and then we'll walk through how they are used.
