Hi Torsten
Yes, that's true ... at least in American English. But in British English, the past + past participle form of "learn" is "learnt", isn't it?

Yes, learnt is the British version of the past partciple and simple past of learn and I think it's pronounced just like the American learned or is there a difference?

As far as I know, the "T" in "learnt" sounds like a "T". But, better check with Alan on that. ;)
