Several days ago
Several days ago,my host parents were gossiping about their cor-worker at the dinner time.
Then he said something that she never known before.
At that time,I got the filling that she said "Oh,I've never known that!"
A few days later,I talked about that story to my teacher when we studied in English.
My teacher said you might misremember what she said.
Because we usually say "I never knew that"in that situation.
So,I noticed my listening skill isn't better than before.
I've been studying English in abroad for almost 3 months.
But my English skill isn't better.
I'm disappointed and frastrated with myself.
However I won't give up to improve!

Thank you. There are several way of saying!

Agree with Alex. I'm surprised that the teacher was surprised. :)

It is possible that you heard correctly, "I never knew that" does sound more natural, but I wouldn't be surprised by hearing "I've never known that" either. The first sounds like more of a general comment and the second sounds a little bit more like a denial
