Youth and education Edit Palmer was born in Green Street, Cambridge the son of a private schoolmaster. He was orphaned at an early age and brought up by an aunt. He was educated at The Perse School, and as a schoolboy showed the characteristic bent of his mind by picking up the Romani language and a great familiarity with the life of the Romani people. From school he was sent to London as a clerk in the city. Palmer disliked this life, and varied it by learning French and Italian, mainly by frequenting the society of foreigners wherever he could find it.
In 1859 he returned to Cambridge, almost dying of tuberculosis. He made a miraculous recovery, and in 1860, while he was thinking of a new start in life, fell in with Sayyid Abdallah, teacher of Hindustani at Cambridge, under whose influence he began his Oriental studies. He matriculated at St John's College in November 1863, and in 1867 was elected a fellow on account of his attainments as an orientalist, especially in Persian and Hindustani.[1]
Яхочу стать дизайнером. это моя любимая профессия. мне нравится делать эскизы красивых комнат, и не только их. у меня даже есть пробные рисунки. по телевидению идет такие передачи, как "квартирный вопрос", "дачный вопрос" и др. я смотрю их. там показывают известных дизайнеров, которые как раз и занимаются тем, чем должны заниматься. это увлекательная профессия, и она мне нравится. когда я стану дизайнером, (а я им точно стану) буду довольна тем, что выбрала именно эту профессию, так как если профессия нравится, то она с легкостью выполнима.
