Neil Collins's video: How to know if someone is being ironic weil Ironie ist immer noch illegal

"Irony is confusing. Saying one thing and meaning another; it's illegal in Germany." Jan Böhmermann to Seth Meyers on the Late Show: https://youtu.be/97XSh2t5weI Of course, this was meant to be ironic. But, I've seen it many times in Germany, and a lot of my students have told me the same: people in Germany sometimes find it hard to spot irony in English. Irish and British people don't always make it that easy to see. In this business English video tip, I'll give you 3 tips on how you can spot irony or see when someone is being ironic. Then, you can practise by watching your favourite TV shows in English and seeing who is being ironic. Hope you enjoy this video.
