I loved yours video but I would make a little correction about the maritimes provinces. Newfoundland and Labrador isn’t included in the Maritime provinces. When we refer all 4 provinces we’d say the Atlantic provinces. The maritimes are only NB, PEI and NS. The easiest way to remember that difference is simply coming back from the time NL entered late into Canada in 1949. Before it was still a British colony. That’s also why it’s the only province who still has a territories within their frontier, which is Labrador and territories of Inuit on the tip of Labrador.

Also Nunavut have 4 official language. French, english, inuktitut and inuinnaqtun.
Nunavut means out land and Iqualuit means place with lots of fishes.

[andyouknow]

My ears are blessed hearing your clear and subtle pronunciation 😍 Thank you for sharing information about Canada, I enjoyed learning it ❤️ keep doing your great work 😇

[coolbro]

I was born in US, it has a lot of states, now I am in canada and I learned this! Thanks so much!

Hi Jen,

Yes, I’ve seen this lesson several times, because I keep forgetting the provinces and their capitals. I need to memorize them. This is a very useful lesson for me, thank you 🙏🏻.
The Netherlands 🇳🇱 has twelve provinces. One of them is special, because it’s actually the bodem of the North Sea. We drained the water in the past and it has become land. It’s called a ‘polder’. The province Flevoland is such a polder. In the past it was part of the North Sea, also named; Zuiderzee. But then the Dutch people made a dike between the North Sea and the Zuiderzee called; Afsluitdijk. It became a big lake called; IJsselmeer. After they drained the water in the South of that lake, it became a province called; Flevoland. And later on the made another polder called; Noordoostpolder that became part of the province Flevoland. Also the reason they called Holland the Netherlands, because the land is under the Sea level. If we don’t maintain our dikes, the land would be overflown by the sea 🌊…

[santiepful]

Jen, I'm really excited to see your map of Canada. It brings back vivid memories of the past. I know the provinces of Quebec, I worked for a while in Schefferville three km from Labrador province, and after coming back from Montreal where I lived for two years, I´ve visited Ontario, and twice the cities of Vancouver and the beautiful Victoria city driving a rented car from Seattle USA, to Vancouver and from there a ferry through the strait of Georgia to Sidney and driving to Victoria …

Spain is divided into 17 autonomous regions called “Comunidades Autonomas”, plus two Autonomous Cities “Ceuta and Melilla” located in Spanish territory in North Africa. Each Community has its capital city, and they are divided into one or several provinces.
The community of Madrid has only one province, called Madrid. Each community has a representative, called the President of the Community. The city of Madrid is also the Capital of Spain.
Thanks for your cool lesson. 👏🏼

Hey Jen..wow....great to listen to your tutorial to learn about Canada. Its doubtful if someone could teach about Canada like you is doubtful. Kudos your teaching skills. Now, I am an expert on Canada, especially the pronunciation. Thanks alot buddy.

[rubensdeliz]

Excellent article on the 3 Canadian territories and 10 provinces. I was fortunate and lucky to study in Toronto (2009 - 2010) and learned a lot about Canadian culture. And to this day I know how to locate all of them on the map, including the name of the capitals. I am a Brazilian citizen and here we currently have 26 states and a Federal District, thus called the capital Brasília, which is located in the central plateau of Brazil, within the State of Goiás. Brazil. My country is also very big with about 8, 517, 000 km² against Canada's 9, 984, 000 km². I leave here my most sincere greetings to the people of Canada, where I have made many friends and miss them. P.S.: My ears thank you for your clean and clear pronunciation.

[murtazagondal]

Thanks Jen. Loved to know the correct pronunciations of all the Canadian provinces. Quite a few surprises for me.

[San-oesj]

Thanks alot.
It's really clear to understand even for non-native English speakers

[Hdhtfbdubgty]

Great job, I returned back to this lesson to determine one province or territory to choose to travel to. I prefere the ones which may have coasts, however Ontario is the biggest province and have nayagra falls. I'll search in those two first. Northwest territories will maybe the third preference for me. What do you think Ms Jen?

[tanmaichawan]

Hi Jen, I'm from India and we have 28 states and 8 Union territories. A wonderful country with multi cultural diversification.

[anuragshah]

Very nice!
A very enlightening geography lesson.

[leader]

It’s wonderful to watch your channel. Thank you! 👍

[Daisy-grqb]

Binging your Canadian videos... They’re really helpful, thank you for your hard work :) A small video request, I hope you get to make more videos on Canada and Canadian culture in general... Anything from things only Canadians face living there, or little culture facts, or more things on the general lifestyle would be nice. It’s so satisfying listening to you speaking top-notch English, keep up the great work!

[EverythingAmericanEnglish]

I learned so much in this video! I thought I knew most of the territories and provinces, but this is the first I’m hearing of Nunavut haha. Thanks for sharing:)

[emdadkhan]

Thank you very much for your wonderful narratives about Canada. Wish you best of luck.

[slavkoslavko]

Most understandable explanation I have ever got before.

[SORAENGLISH]

I found J.J. McCullough’s channel a while back, and thanks to his videos and yours, my knowledge about Canada is skyrocketing now!

It’s fascinating yet hard to imagine how life can be in the northern territories...must be tremendously beautiful but awfully cold!

Japan is a tiny country, but our territory is divided into 47 prefectures, and I sometimes have a hard time recalling the positioning and capital city names of the prefectures I’ve never been to. 🧐

[DidrickNamtvedt]

Thanks for this very informative geography video about Canadas territories, provinces and cities! I'm from Norway, I've always been fascinated with Canada and Canadians and I've always wanted to go there, it's definitely on my bucket list of countries to travel to! :)
