Remembering he and she in Italian


I kept muddling up he and she in Italian. L u i or L e i?

Then I devised a memory aid. L u i is a boy, spelling like Louis XIV.

Lei is a girl, spelling like Sheila, which is a girl's name in English, and an Australian slang word for a girl.

English - Italian
l u i - he
l e i - she
