Swahili Vowels

The biggest difference in pronunciation lies in the way the vowels (a, e, i, o and u) are pronounced in Swahili (very similar to Spanish)

A,a-----pronounced like "ah" as in Africa.
E,e-----pronounced like "eh" as in Trey.
I,i-----pronounced like "ee" as in Miss
O,o-----pronounced like "oh" as in Tone.
U,u-----pronounced like "uh" as in Flue.
