Konnichiwa Sayaka-san, Keni-san
I was listening to Lesson 1.1 and I noticed Kenny said I am from England as "Igirisu kara ki mashita"
Before I had thought "Igirisu" meant "U.K" :s
So being Scottish I was wondering can you tell me the word for Scotland?

Scotland should be said sukottorando.
スコットランド
So it's said the same, but Japanese pronunciation.

Konnichiwa!
Both England and the UK are called *IGIRISU* in Japanese - meaning that the term can be used interchangeably.
