How we learn English and how you speak it?

Asked by BerlinRose (194points) November 2nd, 2013 from iPhone

Hey,
I’m from Germany, living in England since a few weeks near London. (So please excuse my english). And I noticed that we learned English at our school very different, then the people speak it. Even if our English teacher studied in England or whereever.
For example everybody here says more “buck” than “back”. Like a german “a”. We learned it like “back” but with a different a. Maybe you know :D
So my question: Does everyone is saying it like this or is it just a local accent?
Thank you a lot :)
