In lesson 1.11 I'm told “Yo soy su amigo” translates as “I am her friend.” Is that correct? I thought “su” meant “your.” Google Translate thinks so.
Su vs. ella (or maybe something else)

Hola FredH8,
It means both. Lesson 4.8 in language and culture will clarify.

Su can be his, her or your.

¡Hola a todos!
Indeed, ricardo-rich and Scott_C are correct: su can mean “his,” “her,” or “your (plural / formal)” - and it can mean “their” or “its” too! :)
The lesson ricardo-rich has pinpointed (4.8: "Talking About 'Yours' and 'Mine'") has a full explanation that should help to clear everything up.
Saludos,
Liss
