Note to recorder:

slow as it's for beginners

We're going to talk about the British Isles and hte United Kingdom.
There are 2 islands: a small one and a big one. The small island is called Ireland. The big island is called Great Britain.
There are also two countries and five regions. It's a little confusing!
Ireland is divided into two parts: in the South, there is the Republic of Ireland, an independant country. In the North, there is Northern Ireland (or Ulster). It's NOT and independant country: it's a region of the United Kingdom.
There are three other regions in the United Kigdom: Scotland in the North, England in the middle and Wales in the South West.
Everybody speaks English in the British Isles, but in Ireland, they speak Gaelic. In Scotland and Wales, there are dialects too! And many various accents.

I forgot to correct that you left the "n" out of Kingdom in the last paragraph where you say "United Kingdom"
