Editing because you fixed 'quite' and 'street English' and either I missed the first example the first time I read it, or you added another variant!
The first sentence should either be 'The English I've learned in school is quite different from what's spoken on the streets' or 'The English I've learned in school is quite different from the English that's spoken on the streets.' The 's in each sentence is short for 'is' and the verb phrase is 'is spoken' so you can't put the word 'English' in between them.
