Here in Spain we learn British English and teachers gave us sometimes 
documents written by americans, like letters or articles and it's quite 
different, especially typical expressions

I used to think that the difference is not as big as they told us, but I 
remember when I went to NY for a week.It was quite frustrating to miss loads 
of expressions when talking to folks there.
But in the end, it's just expressions, I often do not understand people from 
Argentina or Chile when they speak spanish though :)
My 2 cents
