Man: So where are you from?
Woman: Scotland. Are you Scottish too?
Man: Well no, I’m English actually, but… you know… it’s all like the same thing, isn’t it?
Woman: Not exactly.
Man: Go on! Isn’t Scotland just like well, a bit of England?
Woman: No, it is not!
Man: Sorry, Britain I mean.
Woman: “Britain” is not “England”!
Man: Well yeah… I know that, I’m not stupid or anything… but Britain’s like, England, Scotland and Wales, isn’t it?
Woman: Not exactly.
Man: Yeah, it is; the UK, the United Kingdom.
Woman: The United Kingdom is “Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland”.
Man: Oh I see, but we’re all like the same nation, aren’t we?
Woman: Not really. Four nations, one state.
Man: Oh, I get it! So the UK (is) like the same as Great Britain...
Woman: Great Britain is a geographical term – it’s a big island with Scotland, England, and Wales on it.
Man: All right, but we all have the same prime minister, don’t we?
Woman: Yes, and the same head of state.
Man: The Queen!
Woman: Exactly.
Man: And the same government?
Woman: Well, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own local parliaments.
Man: Oh. I see.
Woman: It’s complicated.
Man: Yeah, I can see that.

Thank you for Replied Adam.
I like this session because they are so natural and use slang language. As long as my study, we only taught about how to speak polite, just like a child when talk to his mother even if we are talk to our friend. "would you like" and "would you like" fulfill our daily in communicate...
Podcasts is a nice section too but there isn't much vocabulary..
