Does anybody here have a good familiarity with this language? I know that it is actually an Indo-European language, rather than Arabic/Semitic group. I am looking at work in map librarianship/cartography. There is an acute need for those who have a proficiency in this language, particularly with the National Geospatial Agency in the U.S.
Not only that, it seems to be an intriguing language, with a unique script. If there are problems with Iran in the future (with the West), this language will be high on the list of essential/strategic languages. Does DLI have open-source coursework? Any help is always greatly appreciated 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

On a side note, I would even find "meine Freundin" quite odd. As a salutation, I cannot help but only associate with spam & scam Mailings. It's certainly rather a question of style than of right or wrong. However, I have never directly addressed someone as "mein Freund" or "lieber Freund", nor have I ever seen or heard this elsewhere - unless in an ironic way ("So nicht, mein Freund!") or when talking to a third party ("Er ist mein Freund").
Yes, it does. In plural though, one would probably use a generic masculine ("meine Freunde") to refer to a mixed group of both males and females. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
