The spelling of "Lesinski" can be tricky to decode without proper knowledge of its phonetics. In IPA transcription, it is pronounced as /ləˈsɪnski/. The highlighted "ə" sound in the first syllable is called a schwa, and represents a neutral vowel sound. The second syllable's "ɪ" produces a short "i" sound. The "s" and "n" sounds sandwich the central "ɪ" sound, respectively. The final syllable contains a hard "k" sound followed by an "i" sound with a short "ee" sound. Thus, Lesinski spelled as "/ləˈsɪnski/" in IPA phonetics can create more comfortable pronunciation for non-native English speakers.
