  3. La grande Bretagne is Great Britain. It is like asking why do we have Great Britain and England? England doesn't include "l'Ecosse, le pays de Galles et l'Irlande"

  5. It is called l'Angleterre and le Royaume-Uni because part of it is England and it is called l'Angleterre and the the whole country is called le Royaume Uni which stands for United Kingdom and it sounds like Royal and united.

  11. Excellent Aimee. Find a tune that you like, use the names of the countries as lyrics and away you go. Let us know whether this helped you remember better. The tune of "Frère Jacques" is a good one to start with. Bonne chance.
