Talk am.
Write am well.
Learn Naijá as a language in its own right: sound and response first, the harmonized Standard Naijá Orthography beside them, then grammar, market talk, media, street language and public storytelling.

One writing contract

Grammar in the marker lane
Build meaning with de, don, bin, go, no and neva before the verb.
Context carries culture
Date street language and credit speakers, creators and sources.
The learning journey
From first response to public voice.
Four eight-unit modules move from sound and SNO into the sentence engine, practical interaction, media, variation and a sourced final performance.
Your on-site handbook
Know which system you are learning.
The reference desks explain the study rhythm, SNO alphabet, tone policy, preverbal marker lane and evidence standard before you are asked to perform.
Accuracy note. Naijá is the name adopted by the NLA. This course does not claim that it has legal official-language status in Nigeria.
Foundation preview · SNO tone lab
Small mark. Different work.
SNO uses an acute mark for high tone where a lexical or grammatical contrast needs it. Identify the displayed form, then read it inside a sentence.
Choose a meaning for the displayed form.
UNMARKED · DEFAULT LOW
baba
Keep the convention named: these are SNO everyday-writing contrasts, not a full phonological transcription.
Your course room
Find the next useful unit.
Search, filter and open any lesson. Each unit includes teaching, a language bank, guided work, knowledge checks, a cultural inquiry and evidence to complete.
SNO writing tray
Put the mark where meaning needs it.
Select a course text field, then insert high-tone vowels or one of the five SNO digraphs. The tray supports the standard; it does not replace listening.
Living-language studio
Who said it? Where? When?
Naijá moves across cities, regions, music, radio, film and social platforms. These four collections keep every language observation attached to a speaker, medium and moment.
Weekly voice ledger
Hear. Locate. Transcribe. Verify.
- Choose a short, lawful and attributable speaker or media sample.
- Record speaker, place, date, audience, medium and register.
- Transcribe what you hear, then create a clearly labeled SNO-oriented version.
- Ask a proficient speaker to check one uncertainty and document the revision.
Evaluation
Proof is a corrected performance.
Completion means you can use the language for a purpose, inspect the result and improve it with evidence.
FINAL STUDIO
Naijá in public context
Create a sourced audio feature, service guide, scene, interview-led story or bilingual explainer. Submit the revised artifact, SNO transcript, source ledger, speaker feedback and a short defence of your choices.
Open the capstoneLearning ecosystem
One course. Several kinds of authority.
The writing guide, language descriptions, datasets, performance archive and media sources answer different questions. Use each for what it can support.
Source ledger
Every strong claim has somewhere to stand.
The course prioritizes the NLA/IFRA SNO guide, academic language descriptions and clearly dated cultural sources. Media house spellings are studied as house styles, not silently relabeled as SNO.
External pages can move or change. Check the publisher, date and access before each assignment, and label learner translations or SNO rewrites clearly.
