## What is LP Old English?

The Old English language is at once recognisable and unfamiliar: many words resemble ones that are used today, but their meanings are not always the same, and they can take many more forms than in the modern language. Liberation Philology Old English helps you master these complexities by practice.

Wherever you have your phone handy, it is ready to drill you on Old English vocabulary and grammar with a continuous multiple-choice test. Your answers are immediately confirmed or corrected, and reinforced through repetition.

• Vocabulary: 150 levels of general vocabulary, each testing the translation of 10 words between modern and Old English. A further 330 levels cover the vocabulary of Beowulf in approximate sequence. Interspersed among these are cumulative levels reviewing what has been learned earlier (giving a total of 542 levels).

• Nouns: Tests your ability to parse and decline all classes of Old English nouns.

• Verbs: Tests your ability to parse and conjugate a full range of weak, strong, and irregular verbs in Old English.

A further Reference module allows you to review the vocabulary word-list and the noun and verb paradigms.

### 5/5 — Old English

*2026-08-19*

Very useful way to learn Old English words and verbs. Also a good introduction to tenses. The quizzes are good fun.

### 2/5 — Where is the sound?

*2026-02-16*

Why would anyone pay for an app like this? It doesn’t even have verbal pronunciation or feedback of words with audio.
What a scam.

### 5/5 — Handy learning tool for learning old English

*2025-08-02*

I Like that one can zip onto this for  a quick test/review and can increase difficulty when wanted!

### 5/5 — Best OE app

*2025-03-29*

Flashcard based learning with grammar and vocabulary references available on each level

### 2/5 — No audio = no pronounciation

*2025-02-11*

It is great for practice, but come on, audio would be nice for people who are actively trying to learn the language.  It’s mainly why people, such as myself, bought and downloaded it only to find out I can’t pronounce anything properly.

### 4/5 — Very good

*2024-10-14*

I found it to be very good however I think it would be better if there was a way to learn pronunciation.

### 3/5 — No pronunciation help :(

*2023-09-10*

It seems to be useful if you already know proper pronunciation but as a new learner there’s no help. Bummed I spent the money before knowing this.

### 4/5 — Could use adjective declension

*2021-10-03*

The app overall is quite good, however with the addition of an adjective declension key/practice, the app would be so much better. This would especially help for someone who has most difficulty in adjectives and needs practice in it, or for those who would like to revisit their knowledge of adjective declension. It is an important feature that would be necessary to completely fulfil the apps educational potential. The app in all other aspects however is quite functional, the conjugation and adjective declension as well the vocabulary features are perfectly splendid and reach the utmost degree of satisfaction, because they are not only efficient but user friendly. If an adjective declension feature were to follow this pattern, no doubt this app would be even more useful and spectacular.

### 5/5 — Very good

*2021-05-28*

Very good and helpful app! Will recommend to anyone studying old English!

### 5/5 — great practice!

*2020-06-10*

really great practice for medieval language students! there is so much vocab, and it really helps if you find word endings difficult for the cases (which I do lol)
