It's the same as in English, but it can be pronounced slightly differently depending on the following letter. For example:
* "a" in "amīcus" (friend) is pronounced like the "a" in "father"
* "a" in "aqua" (water) is pronounced like the "a" in "cat"
It's important to note that Latin has two different forms of "a":
* "a" is used before consonants.
* "ae" is used before vowels.
For example:
* "amicus" (friend)
* "aedificium" (building)
* "aetate" (age)
