What are quarters/trimesters/semesters?
Some U.S. schools want to know how long my courses lasted. In the UK we typically have two periods per year when you learn courses 1 from September-December one from January to April. May and June are used for exams. Every course I took lasted 1 or 2 of these periods. Is 1 of these periods a quarter, trimester or semester?

Sounds like a semester, basically.

I get the feeling the former response was more of a criticism of your effort rather than a failure to overcome any sort of cultural barrier.

Re: What are quarters/trimesters/semesters?
More importantly, I'm assuming you're needing to put this down to transfer credits or something. I'm guessing that you're better off putting down a semester, because more credits will transfer to US schools that way. The quarter system can really screw a transfer student if they're going to a semester college, IIRC.
