"a" as in "far".

"e" as in "fiance", like "a" in "fate".

[Footnote: This "long a" sound in English frequently ends with a
vanish,--a brief terminal sound of "short i" which makes the vowel
slightly diphthongal, as in "day", "aye". Such a vanish must
not be given to any of the Esperanto vowels.]

"i" as in "machine".

"o" as in "toll", "for".

"u" as in "rude", "rural".
