Well, as you know, Mark Twain suffered, too, when trying to learn German, and wrote a glorious rant about it.

"Ihr" isn't "she", though, it's "Her"/"Their" and, in baroque, no longer spoken German, a formal mode of adress, i.e. Faust to his adlatus Wagner, "Wenn Ihr's nicht fühlt, Ihr werdet's nicht erlernen" ("if you don't feel it, you won't learn it". "She" is "Sie", which however is also the formal mode of adress (in practice today, and it started to compete with "Ihr" in the late 18th century), i.e. if I speak to a teacher, I call them Mr./Ms and "Sie", not "Du".
