It depends. If you are reading from kana, there will be a doubled vowel or a line indicating the doubling. If you are reading from 'romanji', English lettering, there will either be a line or a triangle over the vowel indicating it should be lenghened or it may be doubled or another lenghening vowel may follow, as in "ou".

You can't hear the 'e'.You'll be surprised to know that there is another vowel in the word that you don't really hear: the first 'a'. Yes, there is a vowel sound, but it is the schwa sound, the sound that most unstressed vowels make. Schwa is heard with many unstressed vowels, whatever the vowel, and they sound virtually identical to each other.

How would you know if its short or long vowel?

A short vowel is typically pronounced with a brief, crisp sound such as /a/ in "bat." A long vowel is pronounced with a drawn-out sound, usually the sound of the letter itself, such as /aɪ/ in "like." The length of the vowel sound is often determined by the presence of a silent "e" or a vowel combination.


How can a children distinguish if it is a short or a long vowel sound?

Sometimes children have trouble distingishing if it's the short or long vowel sound in a word. Also, sometimes the words have marks above them. This tells if it's a short or long sound. If you don't know what these mean you can also sound out the word. As an example in "cat" the 'a' sounds shorter. This is a classic example for a short vowel sound.As another example, the 'o' in "foam" is a long vowel sound.
