Do you speak English? Fala Inglês? Fahla Ingle[a]ysh? – Although the ‘ê’ sometimes sounds more open (‘ay’), the circumflex still denotes that it should be a close pronunciation.  Listen carefully to a native speaker – the sound is like a cross between the ‘ea’ of ‘ear’ and the ‘ai’ of ‘air’.  The same is true of the words ‘Inglesa’; ‘Português’; and ‘Portuguesa’.
