In Spanish, you can use the ["Ha, Heh, Hee, Ho"
method](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orOW9eRQfpE) for learning Spanish
vowels.

For example, A in Spanish sounds like the 'a' in Ha!

E in Spanish sounds like the 'e' in Heh!

I in Spanish sounds like the 'ee' in Hee!

O in Spanish sounds like the 'o' in Ho!

and then U is like the OO in food.

Does this apply to Japanese vowels as well? I have listened to Japanese vowels
and they sound identical. But I thought I should double check, so I don't
learn them wrongly.

question
vowels
Can you use the "Ha, Heh, Hee, Ho" method for learning Japanese vowels?
Unless you put stress on them, it works as well. (You may find "U" a little
different in New Tokyo dialect, which is a virtual standard, but that's beyond
the category of Standard Japanese.) If you put stress on a vowel, it's
prolonged and includes pitch shift, which is taken as sequence of two sounds
to ears of a Japanese speaker.
