Long vowels sound like the letters of the vowels in the alphabet. Glass has a short a sound, if it had a long vowel sound it would sound like glacier. Hear the difference between the short vowel sound of glass and the long vowel sound of Glacier?

Short vowel sounds are shorter than long vowel sounds. The sound is more sharp and cut off. "A" is a shorter sound than an "ay" sound.
