Humour & Wit
B2 · Proficient
20 cards
Getting the joke is the last thing you learn in a language. This deck covers the German vocabulary of humour as it is actually used: the groan-worthy Kalauer, the deadpan Schenkelklopfer, gallows humour, quick-witted comebacks, and the register difference between gently teasing someone and telling them they are being taken for a ride.
