A live cohort, run inside one private Telegram channel.
No app to download, no LMS to wrestle with. The platform your teachers already use — turned into a serious training environment.
i. Enrol
Pay & Join
Settle the cohort fee through Paystack — card, transfer, or USSD. We add each enrolled teacher to the private Telegram channel within hours.
ii. Learn
One Sound At A Time
A new phoneme every few days. Each lesson includes a teaching video, audio examples in British RP, the IPA symbol, and the spelling patterns that produce it.
iii. Practice
Record & Refine
Submit voice notes for each sound. Receive private feedback on what’s landed and what needs another pass. The cohort drills together, weekly.
iv. Certify
Earn The Mark
Complete all forty-four sounds and pass the final diagnostic to receive your Diction Masters certificate of proficiency. Verifiable. Dated. Signed.
We name the traps. Then we drill them out.
A preview of three sounds Nigerian teachers commonly mispronounce — and what the programme does about them.
θ
The voiceless “th”
TRAP: tree for three. tank for thank. The /θ/ sound collapses into /t/.
DRILL: Tongue between the teeth, soft breath. Minimal pairs across an entire week until the muscle memory holds.
ɜː
The long, open central vowel
TRAP: fest for first. bed for bird. The schwa-long collapses to short /e/.
DRILL: Vowel-length contrasts, mouth-shape work, and ear-tuning to hear the difference before producing it.
ə
The schwa, English’s quietest sound
TRAP: a-bout for ə-bout. Unstressed vowels get pronounced fully, breaking English rhythm.
DRILL: Weak-form practice, sentence-rhythm exercises, and recordings against native RP samples.
Enrol your teachers. Before the cohort fills.
Seats are limited. Termly intake. The right time to start is before the new academic session — so the gains land in the classroom from day one.
