LP Old Norse

iOS Universal

Old Norse can be studied as the language of the Eddas and the Icelandic sagas; the ancestor of the Scandinavian tongues; or, because of the Viking presence in the British Isles, a major influence on the development of English. But while many of its words are recognisable, the connections are often vague or misleading, and it follows a more complicated grammar than most of its modern relatives. The answer is ultimately memorisation, which is where Liberation Philology Old Norse can help.

Whenever you have a moment to spare, your phone can call up a rolling multiple-choice test that helps you practise Old Norse vocabulary and grammar. Each answer you give is immediately confirmed or corrected, and your knowledge is reinforced by as much repetition as you find useful.

• Vocabulary: 335 levels, each testing your ability to translate ten words between English and Old Norse.

• Nouns: Tests your ability to parse and to decline all types of Old Norse nouns.

• Verbs: Tests your ability to parse and to conjugate weak, strong, and irregular Old Norse verbs.

An additional module allows you to review the word-list for the vocabulary test, and the noun and verb paradigms.

What's new

• The Nouns and Verbs modules now cover the variant spellings and forms that are possible for some words.
• Interface improvements in the Review module.
• Correction of a significant number of errors, predominantly in the subjunctive of strong verbs and the dative of neuter nouns.
