The Daily Training Programme
The Daily Training Programme audio-based repetition course designed to help individuals master Received Pronunciation.
The programme starts with the building blocks of speech—individual sounds—before moving on to syllables, words, and full sentences. It uses spaced repetition to help you internalise the sounds and build muscle memory at a comfortable pace.
By following this programme, students can spend more time practising on their own making the learning process more efficient.
Why Traditional Methods Fall Short
Traditional accent reduction methods often fail to produce lasting results. While a teacher can identify your mistakes, students often struggle to internalise the corrections.
This is usually due to a lack of structured practice between lessons. Too much time is spent on theory with insufficient practical application. As a result, forming new habits becomes challenging, leading many students to give up.
A Structured Approach to Mastering Received Pronunciation
The Daily Training Programme is is a series of daily exercises focused on listening and repetition to help students embed the sounds of Received Pronunciation into their subconscious.
The sounds of English are introduced in their simplest forms. By disassociating sounds from words and meanings, we can bypass the internal “language filter”, enabling students to mimic the sounds more accurately.
Internalise the Basic Building Blocks of Speech
The programme spans approximately 15 hours of audio with exercises that mimic the sounds of English in their rawest form—just like an infant learns to babble before they articulate their first word.
By practising daily, individuals can reinforce their pronunciation habits through muscle memory rather than intellectual effort.
Several modules are available for public access here:

Full access to the complete 15-hour programme is provided to students.
Breakdown of the Programme
Audio files and PDF Guides: The programme provides recorded audio files of Received Pronunciation along with PDF guides, creating a comprehensive learning package.
Incremental approach: We start by breaking down sounds into the small segments. This allows you to focus on articulating fundamental sounds without the distraction of complex vocabulary.
Progressive difficulty: The programme progresses from single phonemes to frequently used syllables, connecting sounds, two-word combinations, and beyond. This gradual increase in difficulty helps you build upon your skills logically.
Spaced repetition: The method utilizes spaced repetition, ensuring that you are exposed to the sounds repeatedly over time. This helps you absorb the sounds into your subconscious.
Studio Quality Audio: All files are professionally recorded using a Rode NT1-A studio condenser microphone, ensuring clear and crisp sound quality for effective listening.
Integration with lessons: While this can be used as a standalone self-study tool, combining the Daily Training Programme with regular lessons allows you to advance at a faster pace.
