Quiz- How do you...

A young African American lady was in the office last week.

Her first name is spelled: L'-A
(yes, EXACTLY like that, with both punctuation marks)

Let's see if anyone can properly pronounce her name, spell it phoenetically. ie: Eugene would be Yoo-Jeen, Daniel would be Dan-Yul

I'll start off- Lah is not correct.
