Do you guys learn English English or American English or some third thing? Is the big piece of metal that covers your engine of you car a hood or a bonnet? Is the thing out back a boot or a trunk? When it's dark out, do you grab a flashlight or a torch? When getting in the box to take you to a different floor is at an elevator or a lift?
In general I think almost everybody outside USA learn British English, but the interaction with American speakers, either on the internet and in the fact that most English speaking entertaining is American in origin, mean that the British English we learn is "contaminated" by American English, especially in vocabulary we will be more likely to use the American words at least in Scandinavia, simply because we learn the most common words and the grammar, while we pick less common words up along the way. I know East Asian countries are different with a greater focus on learning the wider vocabulary, but in my experience most European are more like Scandinavian in this regard.
So no people often don't learn the different between a hood and a bonnet, but if we did, we would learn bonnet, but instead hood is picked up along the way.
