"Learnt" is past tense for "learn" just as "learned". Maybe not in your corner of the world, but it is.

Next time, do a little research, if you're not 100% sure, before you make a remark.

Now now Guest dont have a tantrum,,take it easy I owe you nothing, but you need to show me proof ...any proof of the word "learnt being used,,All text books documents references and newspapers,,never once I have ever seen that word,, and it is Dchee that I now speak with.,,,and Dchee thank you for having an open mind to my input. If others would take time and look a little farther than whats in front of them,, then they would not misunderstand me. I am happy you see things for what they are and clearly. Yes i do teach English,, but be for warned I dont speak Chinese that well. The more you interact with people OR write to them, the more you will comprehend,,,but with anything being "LEARNED"

for the first time,,there will be time before it can be mastered. There is alot to understand in speaking English,, so if you need to chat I will help you the best I can and teach you the style from "THIS CORNER OF THE WORLD",,if you have no objections to my style of teaching or the watch dog biting back at my remarks. Look forward to chatting with you. Best, Larry

Good research guest and this has opened my eyes, since there is a difference between the usage used between Britain and the US. This is what would be called a "colloquial" "learned and learnt' this answers the reason why I see so many Chinese use the word "learnt"..is because they are studying from British Text. So now I have a better understanding because of this "Colloquial difference" Although in the US the word learnt is spoken verbally with some who talk fast,, but in writing here...that word is improper to use. Again let me reiterate that, no one will find that Word "Learnt" being used in US text. Every country has their aphorisms and slang terms and I see that now especially with this word "Learnt". Although the word is correct, in British terms,, I myself will not entertain the word in the use of sentences,, personal preference

Good Research Guest Best regards Larry

GUEST7475	You know what? i don't know what kind of English I speak. Like Larry said, the text books we used in middle school are written in British English. In college, our spoken English teacher just taught us American English. Complicated. People who speak and write in British English will have much trouble in using Microsoft Word. You will find that many words will be marked in red. Spelling mistakes.
