We have long vowel sounds in English and short vowel sounds. One has to learn the difference. That is not a simple process.
It's not so difficult for me:
1. Learn the American pronunciation of the alphabet

(Happy Kids, ABC Writing | Alphabet Writing | Capital Letters | Upper-Case Letters)
2. The alphabet contains 13 vowels:
monophthong: [e] [E] [o] [>] [x] [X] [.]
diphthong: [A] [O]
3. Addition of 6 vowels:
monophthong: [e] [E] [o] [>] [x] [X] [.]
[a]
diphthong: [A] [ow] [O] [>i] [yx] [y.] [.r]
