DE Pronouns - App description
Download DE Pronouns from the App Store
Learn the German personal pronouns, review them (with the quick reference guide), get tested on them and see how well you are doing with the stats page. Ideal if you are trying to learn the German language or perhaps if you're travelling to Germany and need to refresh your knowledge of the personal pronouns in the different cases in order to be grammatically correct. This app can test you by asking you for the German or the English word, and you can randomise the order, and specify which cases and pronouns you want to be tested on.
Can't remember that "Ihnen" is the German formal form of "you" in the dative, can't remember what ihr means (her in Dative, you - plural informal in the nominative), etc? This is perfect for you a will help you learn these personal pronouns and cement your understanding of these words.

What are the personal pronouns
The German personal pronouns are words such as "I", "you", "he", "she", and they are used in the Nominative (ich, du, er, sie), Accusative (mich, dich, ihn, sie) and Dative (mir, dir, ihm, ihr) cases. The nominative being the subject, the accusative being the direct object, and the dative being the indirect object. E.g. "I throw it to her". "I" is the subject and takes the nominative, "it" is the direct object and takes the accusative and "her" is the indirect object and takes the dative. Therefore the German phrase would be; "ich werfe es ihr". The app assumes you know about the different German cases that the personal pronouns are used in (nominative, accusative and dative), and therefore will know when to apply the words that you learn.

What the app can do
The app allows you to review the personal pronouns in the 3 cases (nominative, accusative and Dative) as a quick reference guide. Then you will be tested on the words, with each word presented in either German or English (depending on the setting you choose), and you will be asked for the translation (which you type in). How well you do is logged in the stats, and you can view this on the stats page. The settings allow you to choose which cases to test yourself on, and which of the pronouns to test yourself on. So if you see you are having trouble with specific pronouns, you can select those to be tested against (going via application settings).
The application settings and in-app settings also allow you to randomise the order in which the case and the pronouns are chosen, in order to avoid learning them in a particular ordered pattern.
The app does not require a data connection to run.
