1. Les Voyelles

2. Collins - Easy Learning French Pronunciation Track 10(cd)
I has two prounciations in French. The first pronunciation is like the ee English sound in the word feet or sheep
To make the sound lips are fully spread and the blade of the tongue is raised very close to the front of the mouth. This is a high front vowel. The muscles around the mouth are tense.
The first is as in English sheep and French Merci
Il (he)
vie (life)
finir (to finish)
A circumflex over the î generally indicates that usually (s) has been lost over time: île(island) is not telling you how to pronounce it.
