4. For me it's a combo of memorization and practice.

That's basically all I can think of that may help . . . :(

Edit: Duh, you knew this before of course. But just memorize the hell out of them. I find that I now somehow just 'get' german without really knowing how. Expose yourself as much as you can to the language, and cross your fingers.

Seven different monkey dialects, actually.

11. an, auf, hinten, neben, in, uber, vor und zwischen--the other kind.
Haha! I forget what you call the non-dative prepositions, but Sister Marie Genevieve made sure I permanently memorized them (some 35 years ago)!
