    Let’s start!
    Watch the video on puns (in English) and answer the questions:

    Puns in other languages


    You have puns in languages all over the world and a lot of puns are also created when two
    people of a different language don’t understand each other.
    Watch the clip below and answer the questions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?
    v=K3VYblb0fug
    a) What is the French homonym for ‘Will to live’?
    _______________________________________________
    b) ‘Herr Katt’ sounds in English like the word…
    _______________________________________________
    c) Why did the barman think the German customer wanted three Martini’s?
    _______________________________________________
    d) The English person said ‘Spring is in the air’ and the Dutch man replied: ‘why should
    I?’. Why is the Dutch man confused?
    _______________________________________________
    Now it’s your turn!

    Create a clip in which you use at least 5 puns. Try to be creative (for example, the first clip
    that you saw). You can choose the language in which you make your clip, but the English
    language generally has more puns than other languages.

    What do you need for this assignment: material to explain your pun,a creative mind 😉, the
    internet (laptop) to explore more available puns.
