Hello, I have purchased a gift for my Polish-American partner, but he’s not completely fluent in Polish like his father. I’d like what I got for him to be a surprise, so I can‘t really ask the family for help translating, and I don’t know enough Polish to try to type out what is hand-written. Some of the paid translation services I found stopped being active around 2016. Would someone be willing to help me translate the letter? Thank you in advance.

Deutsch: What is the difference between 'Schauspieler' und 'Darsteller'? Hello all, When I was studying, I had learned that 'Schauspieler' meant 'actor.' However, when I was watching a behind the scenes video of the König der Löwen, the child actors were called 'Kinderdarstellar.' My questions is: Are there only certain scenarios where one word is more appropriate to use than the other? Is 'Darstellar' only used for children? Is 'Schauspieler' only used for actors doing Shakespeare and other classic works? Any input would be appreciated! Here is the video: "König der Löwen"-Musical: Die perfekte Illusion | Wie geht das? | NDR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoRSJg5ymiM&index=1&list=PLLl5p4J0wrIAGER1DG3AU_JJKT8QPNJEi - Meagan

Signed Languages

Hello all,

 

Having looked through the italki site, it has come to my attention that most people (if not all people) that are interested in learning Sign Language are actually interested in learning <em>American</em> Sign Language (ASL).

 

There are many signed languages as well as countless dialects of signed languages, which is also the case for spoken languages. You can search for images of the 'sign language family tree' to see how some of the signed languages are related to each other.

 

I wanted to know if anyone has studied or is interested in studying British Sign Language (BSL) and/or French Sign Language (<em>la langue des signes française</em>, LSF) on italki. If anyone can make any recommendations about what sites to go to or books to get on BSL and LSF I would very much appreciate it!

 

It would also be cool to talk to someone on italki who knows/can talk about the history and evolution of Old French Sign Language.

 

I don't know how to end this note.... so..... <em>fin</em>.
