Do you mean simply the sounds of those 4 letters when their names are said? If you mean their sounds within words, there is no unequivocal answer to your question. The English alphabet does not consistently reflect English sounds.

Hello Asmaa Ibrahim,
Please note that full stops and commas should always be followed by a space, and every sentence should start with a capital letter. Don't use i instead of I.

Hello, Asmaa. Unfortunately. there are no 'simple rules' for speaking English, and all of the written vowels (i,u,e,y, etc) have a variety of pronunciations within words. Try using the on-line Merriam-Webster dictionary, which offers audio MP3s for many words.

Dear Asmaa,
I have a website that might also be able to help you. As Mr. Micawber said, there is not 1 sound for each written letter in English, there can be many pronunciations of a letter or letter group. I have attempted to capture this on a American English Sound Chart page.
As for the sounds themselves, my American accent training website has a sample video and a how-to video for each sound to help you understand how to make it. You can also email me pronunciation questions (my email address is on the site).
Good Luck!!
