Because there is no perfect match for the short I sound in Japanese, many English words with that sound are written with i (イ) in katakana.

Be careful to make them the short I sound in English!

Jaw顎Steps
Open your mouth. Keep your tongue low. The sides of your tongue should touch your bottom side teeth.くちを開けましょう。舌を平坦にしましょう。舌の両側が下の歯に当たります。
Make a voiced sound.音を出しましょう。
Slightly close your mouth and stretch your lips horizontally.ややくちを閉じて唇を横に開きましょう。
Raise the middle of your tongue close to but not touching the roof of your mouth. The sides of your tongue should touch your top side teeth.舌の中央を上あごに当たらない程度に持ち上げましょう。舌の両側が上の歯の内側に当たります。
Make a voiced sound.音を出しましょう。
You should feel the apples of your cheeks rise slightly.頬が上がるのを確認しましょう。
Katakana Otoshiana
Many English words with the long I sound are written with ai (アイ) in katakana. The way you form both the English and Japanese sounds is the same, but the katakana words can sometimes sound choppier.
like ➡ ra-i-ku (ライク)
cry ➡ ku-ra-i (クライ)
tight ➡ ta-i-to (タイト)
Be careful to have a smooth transition in English!
long Iの音が含まれる英単語はよくカタカナの「アイ」で表記されています。long Iの音と「アイ」の発音は似ていますが、カタカナで発音する場合は音がとぎれとぎれになってしまいます。

cry ➡ ku-ra-i (クライ)
tight ➡ ta-i-to (タイト)
英語でlong I の音を発音する時はカタカナのように音と音の間を切ってしまわないように気を付けましょう！
