* "Here" is pronounced like "heer."
* The "e" sound in "heer" is a short e sound, not a long e sound.
Long e sounds are typically represented by the letter "e" at the end of a word (like "cake") or by combinations like "ee" (like "see").
Short e sounds are often spelled with just "e" in the middle of a word (like "bed") or with combinations like "ea" (like "head").
Therefore, the word "here" does not have a long e sound.
