The verb "ai" is the first person singular of the verb "avoir". You often see it in print as "j'ai" meaning I have. You would pronounce it like the "ay" in play or say.
One of the nice things about Rocket French is that you can find pronounciations and other goodies to answer your questions. You'll learn that as you become more familiar with the website. That said, to find pronunciations for "j'ai" go to lessons 1.12, 3.1, or 3.6.
I hope this helps.

Jason, are you asking about the WORD "ai" or the two-letter occurrence of "ai"
like in "aurais" or "auraient" in the conditional or "aie" in the subjunctive?
I think the answer is the same - "ay"?
