Huh thats how I was taught the vowels, a e i o u and sometimes y. Think I got the order right for how we were taught. Canada say 40 years ago or something for a reference, since I’m sure teachings differ.
I was taught only a e i o u 30 ish years ago and only that since then in school thereafter. After having learnt English throughout my life, it never occurred to me that Y can sometimes be a vowel even though by this point I’ve seen a lot of them happened lol
Learning something new is always a bonus. That’s just how I was taught in the way back when. Think there’s another character that can be a vowel like w or something but I can’t recall exactly and not common for sure. Just have to remember ‘why’ is there a vowel? It’s y, cause it needs to be somewhere in English words, least from my understanding, course there’s something to break every rule of linguistics.

Also sometimes w. And arguably r, for linguists who consider /ɝ/ its own vowel sound.
