Well done! Continue reading to find out more about this place.

UK means United Kingdom and it is a group of 4 countries in Europe: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. It cannot be confused with Great Britain, which is the main island in the UK. England, Scotland and Wales are there. Northern Ireland is in a different island, with the Republic of Ireland. One of the differences between the UK and Ireland is the money: pounds (£) in the UK and euros in Ireland. London is the capital of the UK and Dublin is the capital of Ireland.
