Lesson 2
Word: adjacent

Meaning: Close or near; sharing a border, wall, or point

Pronunciation: (Not so phonetically written but as exactly pronounced like a Nigerian)

I had always pronounced the "adja" as "aja". But discovered the right pronunciation is "ajei"

Wrong = \ ə-ˈja-sənt\
Right = \ ə-ˈjei-sənt\

Lesson 3
Word: blaspheme

Meaning: To talk about God or religion in a way that does not show respect

Pronunciation: (Not so phonetically written but as exactly pronounced like a Nigerian)
