"e" is "eh" (like the sound of the word "day" except without the dipthong)
"o" is..."o" (think "o" with a circumflex over it a la French; it's just like "o" without the extra dipthong on the end)
"i" is pronounced "ee"
"u" is more "oo" like "you" or "OOOO I want it."
Um...dipthongs are...the extra sounds at the end of a letter. If I could talk to you, I'd be able to demonstrate it better. *insert rant about inadequate alphabet a la George Bernard Shaw*
