"E" either like bet or pay

"F" like fair

"G" like gem, if before an "e" or an "i"

"G" like goal, for the rest of the time

"H" is silent, is often used between "g" or "c" and "e" and "i", to change the sound

"I" like machine

"J" is a foreign letter

"K" is another foreign letter

"L" like liquid

"M" like machine

"N" like navy

"O" like ball, can also be like boat
