No a W is never a vowel. The only vowels are A,E,I,O,U and sometimes Y no, there are only five vowels in the English alphabet: A, E, I, O, U; once in a while though we use Y as a vowel as in the word FLY

Is c a vowel?

W is a vowel sometimes, as is Y. There are words in Welsh that use only a W. An example would be the word tow. Without the W the O would not be long. This illustrates that the W is forming a diphthong, which mirrors the use of the letter U from which it developed. After a vowel, W is considered as a vowel, with an "au, oo, or oh" sound. Before a vowel it is considered a consonant, with its "wh" sound.
