Oxford Collocations Dictionary:
I've been learning Arabic for four years.
I always used 'learn' in sentences like this until I read the following book recently:
1001 Common Chinese Errors in English (by three American writers):
I've studied (NOT: learned) English for seven years.
Is this one of the differences between AmE and BrE?
Many thanks in advance.
