    This is excellent for learning the two way preps.. the rest we just rote learned..

    Dative: aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu
    accusitive: durch, fur, gegen, ohne, um, weider, entlang, bis

    its like a little rythm.. :) Think of dative as beginning with a (aus) and accusitive as beginning wiith d (durch)
