pronounciation

these are some common words some of us mis-pronounce :

" extempore " -3 syllables ( ex as in expect + 2nd e as in test + o as the a in china + final e like the i in pit , so the pronounciation is like " extemperi "

" sojourn" - ( in so the o is like the o in hot , j as in jam, ourn like the urn in burn) .stress on the 1st syllable 'so'. finally we get - " sojurn "
