THE 44 ACADEMY

The 44 Academy — Master All 44 Sounds of British English

The 44 Academy is a live, cohort-based teacher training programme that takes you through the 44 phonemes of British Received Pronunciation (RP) — one sound at a time — inside a private Telegram classroom, led by Diction Masters, Nigeria's leading British English pronunciation and diction company.

Most Nigerian teachers were never formally taught the sounds of English. We were trained in grammar, literature, and comprehension — but the actual 44 sounds that make up spoken English were skipped. The result? We mispronounce words without knowing it, and every child we teach inherits those mistakes for life.

The 44 Academy fixes that. Permanently.

Over the course of the programme, we work through all 12 pure vowels, 8 diphthongs, and 24 consonants of British RP using the Diction Masters Book of Conversation as the core curriculum. Every sound is taught with a Nigerian Trap (the mistake we all make), a Word Bank, a Reading Passage, a Conversation, a Tongue Twister, and Minimal Pairs. You don't just learn the sound — you drill it until it becomes yours.

1. Enrol and pay securely via Paystack.
2. Get added to the private 44 Academy Telegram classroom.

Who it's not for:
