Yay! It's the first WWA post of the year. I'd been contemplating whether or not to continue this year. I'm glad I finally decided to have it again. :)
Let's refresh our memory. 'Words With Amaka' is me (as a voice-over artist) playing with my Cambridge Pronouncing English Dictionary to discover words I'd been pronouncing wrongly all my life, and sharing them with you bi-weekly. We started with session 1 last year. Each session has 12 lessons.
So you are officially welcome to session 2 of 'Words With Amaka'. :)

Pronunciation: I had always pronounced the 'a' after the 'J' as 'e' in egg. But discovered it should be pronounced as 'a' in cat.
