Change your pronunciation of e depending on where it is in a word. Unlike the other pure vowels, the letter e is pronounced differently depending on whether it occurs in the middle of a syllable or at the end. One of the best things about learning the Greek language is that words are pronounced the way they are written. There are no silent 'e' type letters. If a letter is in the word, it is pronounced. And letters are always pronounced the same way, with the exception of a few diphthongs.
