How the UK is Divided: Countries, Cities, Counties, Councils, Wards

It’s called the United Kingdom, but it’s divided up into four countries! I’ll be focusing on England in particular, and showing how the country where I live is divided up into cities and towns, villages and countryside. I’ll be talking about counties, councils, and wards, and giving a few examples of place names. If you’re planning on moving to the UK, this is essential knowledge. www.engvid.com/how-the-uk-is-...

I doubted that you belong to UK, after listening you lessons. Now my guess was right.

[@hasmetyegin3316]

My dream is to complete Master in UK

[@mgamell]

Proof that good teaching doesn't need more sophistication. Thank you for your lessons, Gill.

[@joylot729]

Yes agree

[@aliciacollao6487]

Totally agree!

[@ericchristen2623]

Yes and no. She needed the general knowledge first. And a broad general knowledge is one form of sophistication.

[@aimaeyo228]

Agree

[@ahmedemam8687]

Impressive! As usual, the video is clear, short, informative, and straight to the point. Thank you so much.

[@thomasmomanyi285]

Wonderful and gifted teacher of our time keep it up.

[@RG-ja34sep]

Gill, you truly are a treasure. Your lessons are so interesting and informative, I never want them to end! It’s an absolute pleasure to listen and learn from these videos, you are a gifted educator. Young people nowadays don’t realise how fortunate they are to have quality education at their fingertips. Thank you Gill, and all the very best to you, regards, Robert.

[@decoshotta2596]

Very lovely lessons gill

[@hearthd.5561]

Thank you so much teacher Gill for your effort to teach us. May God bless you more.

[@grazynafalkowska7747]

I have always had difficulties in understanding spoken English and I not only understand your speking but also love your pronunciation. I love all your lectures, prof. Gill. Thank you for all you you are doing here. I am from Poland.🌷

[@hugozaguini3550]

[@decoshotta2596]

[@sebashtiannumberone5431]

Gill, you are great ! I love your style. You've got that thing that modern teachers don't have. What I say it's just for passionate students who are able to feel it. Not easy to express in words. Cheers

[@user-sv7qg5qy3q]

Gill, thank you so much!!! You're the greatest teacher I've ever seen !

[@nihayatali2665]

What a humble Lady❤❤

[@himfalathiel4012]

I'm so happy everytime you upload a new video, Gill, your lessons are so nice and interesting!

[@SuperMamo1]

Oh Gill, I love your pronunciation, it's so easy to understand every word you say. I spent a year in Lancaster, and every time I met an English person I heard a different accent because people come from different areas. The most important thing about this was at every moment I had a great relationship and was able to make a friend. I love England and your people

[@JuliaDutta]

Thank you Gill ❤ This was an extremely informative session. For any enthusiast who is fascinated with England, these lessons are so useful. I have been to The Lake District, to visit The Dove Cottage, Helen Beatrix Potter's county, Lancashire. Stayed at Cornwall too. London, Oxford and other places. Such a beautiful country England is!
