Hello all,
I just married a Kurdish girl and while she and her siblings speak perfect english her parents and her grandparents do not, and constantly needing a translator is getting old pretty fast :D . I have looked seemingly everywhere for some type of dictionary or language software to help me learn Kurdish ( specifically the " bandini" dilect, I hope I am spelling that right) and I have had absolutely zero luck. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Ryan
