Periodicals Publishing House has been working on the development of a mobile application that facilitates the study of Karelian and Vepsian languages. The result of the cooperation of specialists from different fields of knowledge was the Oma Kieli application, with which you can independently improve your knowledge of the Vepsian language, as well as the Karelian and Livvikov dialects of the Karelian language. At this stage, the application contains exercises for learning vocabulary, in the near future the application will be supplemented with exercises on grammar, as well as phonetic accompaniment.
