I have no idea why "How was to act in another country?" is listed as a correct translation, let alone the preferred one. In English you have to use the gerund, "acting". I'm trying to report this but every time I click the drop-down, "The English sentence is unnatural or has an error" is never one of the options... :(
When I read the suggested solution, it says, "How was it to act in another country?" which sounds fine. They may have changed it since you saw it, because you left out the word "it".
It's not wrong it's just uncommon in the Americas. Btw, I used the gerund and it worked.
Why isn't playing accepted "How was playing in another country" ? Playing is given as an option for "atuar". (Don't forget "All the world is a stage, and the mean and women merely players (actors)" - Shakespeare)
"To play" is now accepted as a translation of atuar in this skill (we don't know of the subjects are concert pianists, and "atuar" works for any performance, not just acting).
Thank you all for your reports - they show us we're all just as invested in making sure our courses gets better everyday :)
I put 'How was it acting in another country?' which makes much more sense in English. Wasn't correct though. Have reported.
