Subject: RE: BS: English as taught in Nordic countries
Of course, European children will probably learn English English in the classroom but then pick up so much American English via movies and popular music. I was talking to a young German woman in London recently and she used the word "gotten", and was then surprised when I told her that that word isn't used in the UK.
