Spanish native speaker here, but I know a little of German.

In the books of "Dora the Explorer", usually the letter "i" in Spanish is replaced by the sound that makes "ee" instead of the sound of "e". So your first list should be

"ah, ay, ee, oh, ooh"

Downsides of trying to illustrate sounds with writing without using IPA (which I do not know enough of). I'm sure we are saying the same thing.
