After that, I started attending British Council to learn business english. However I found that my English teacher from England, of course :), often uses the word "keen". I think it can be difference between British & Amerian English :) hi Andy,

Not mainly youngsters but adults. What I understand is that "fond" is used more when you refer to persons and feelings (but not 100% sure it could also be applied for things) i.e She was especially fond of a little girl named Fiona. On the other hand, you use 'keen on' to indicate that someone likes it a lot and is very enthusiastic about it. i.e. I wasn't too keen on maths at school.

Andrew made a good point with this blog, you'll hear "keen" "ought to" "fond of" very rarely in spoken English in US and Canada. missy latin, spoken British English and North American English are different, you can notice it even in movies, and it is not about the accent only.
