About this app

This program helps you improve your knowledge of Old Church Slavonic, the earliest attested Slavic language, through practice-driven memorisation.

• Adjectives: Tests your ability to recognise and decline Old Church Slavonic adjectives.

• Verbs: Tests your ability to parse and to conjugate a range of representative Old Church Slavonic verbs.
