Well yes. My dialect is somewhere towards German (more so Dutch). I write, “learnt” rather than “learned”. Past perfect and past imperfect from a Germanic view

“I learnt” and “I have learned”. “I learned” sounds wrong.

It wasn’t as a lad but I had to learn English, as a second language, when I lived abroad (NL/BE/US). It was embarrassing to have someone translate my English to an American boss.
