I've learned German for 3 months now.

I've looked up some English-German dictionaries for the expression "to consider st/sb as st/sb in German, but the results that I've found were not satisfying. For example, in Collinsdictionary.com, I found an expression "jdn/etw für etw halten" and an example for it "ich habe das Bild für ein Original gehalten". However it means "I thought the picture was an original", rather than "I consider/ or regard".

It would be more convenient if I use German-German dictionaries because they give very detailed explanations. However my level is too low to use them. So I want to ask here that what is its German equivalent of the English expression "to consider something/someone as something/someone" ?

Thank you very much.

I am trying to find a German expression for to consider st/sb as st/sb, e.g., as in:

I consider him as my best friend.

I’ve looked up some English–German dictionaries for the expression in German, but the results that I’ve found were not satisfying. For example, in Collinsdictionary.com, I found as a translation jdn/etw für etw halten and as an example for it:

Ich habe das Bild für ein Original gehalten.

However, this rather means I thought than I consider or I regard, i.e.:

I thought the picture was an original.

So I want to ask here that what is the German equivalent of the English expression to consider something/someone as something/someone?

Ich lerne seit drei Monaten Deutsch. Es gibt so viele Sätze, dass ich nicht weiß, wie man sich ausdrücken kann.
