The problem
Pronunciation is learned by hearing and repeating, but most learners have no model speaker to hear and no structured way to practise each sound. Schools also need to control access rather than leave it open to anyone.
What we built
The 44 Academy teaches the 44 sounds of English, one lesson per sound, each with an articulation video, a word bank, sentence practice, passages, conversations, tongue twisters and minimal pairs. Schools register, then issue single-use access codes to their teachers and students.
Key features
44 Academy
A lesson for each of the 44 sounds of English, grouped into vowels, diphthongs and consonants.
Tabbed lessons
Articulation video, word bank, sentences, passages, conversations, tongue twisters and minimal pairs.
School access codes
School admins generate single-use codes that create a teacher or student account already linked to the school.
Three ways to register
As a school, as an individual, or by joining with a code.
Admin-managed content
Every lesson tab is edited from the admin as inline forms — no code changes to add a lesson.
Android and iPhone apps
Native Capacitor apps that open the live site with phone features on top — haptics, network awareness and a built-in offline screen — so updates reach them without a new release.
Engineering challenges
Access that schools control
A single-use code both creates the account and ties it to the right school and role, so a school admin decides exactly who joins.

Result
Public landing page, registration for schools and individuals, code-based joining and the 44 Academy are built.
