/i/ is short I (bill, pin, little) /e/ is short E (bed, red, met) /3:/ (the third from top sign on the left) is Ö (bird, world, word) /æ/ is also short E but you should open your mouth wider (bad, cat, that) /ei/ is basically ei (great, grey, play) /au/ - cow, crowd, wow /ai/ - like, Mike, Wi-Fi /eu/ - snow, rose, grow /a/ - I think it is short O (clock, walk, bog)

Look for any phonetics introduction. Look for a chart of the cardinal vowels.

Hi John, what's your purpose with this ? These are not letters of the English alphabet and are only used in the dictionary to show pronunciation. It is not taught in schools, so you don't need to know it to speak, read, and write English.

Thank you so much for everyone!

As seen from the table all vowels became closer and some of the vowels occupied the place of the next vowel in the column: [e:] changed into [i:], while the more open [ e:] took the place of close [e:] and later moved one step further in the same direction and merged with the former close [e:] in [i:]. Likewise the long [o:] was shifted one step, to become [u:] while ME [u:] changed to [au]. Some long vowels _ [u:], [i:] and [a:] broke into diphthongs, the first element being contrasted to the second as a more open sound: [au], [ai] and [ei], respectively.
