What's the point of giving us a male symbol and telling us that Freund is male friend if we're not supposed to use it?

I used the symbol too and got the "you used the wrong word", stupid program

My understand is that if I say "mein Freund", it generally is taken to mean "my boyfriend", while if I say "ein Freund von mir", it means "my (male) friend". In this case, "der Freund", is there any slant to which meaning is implied, or will context determine it?

lernt and land, the word isn't obvious

Gayyy

I wrote "buddy" which is a synonyme of "Friend", and it's wrong...

Lernt can be reading as well, so why it has been marked wrong?

The official translation will lead to some awkward moments. Friend in English is Kollege/Kollegin, or Bekannte in German. Freund means boyfriend, leading to people potentially thinking you're gay or engaged in polyandry, depending on your gender and prior conversations.
