Here's how to pronounce the long vowels in English:

Long A (as in "fate") - Say it like the "a" in the word "say".

Long E (as in "beat") - Say it like the "e" in the word "see".

Long I (as in "mile") - Say it like the "i" in the word "pie".

Long O (as in "go") - Say it like the "o" in the word "go".

Long U (as in "cute") - Say it like the "u" in the word "flute".
