The 'i' in the English word 'in' doesn't exist in Spanish. We call it the short 'i' sound.

When a Spanish speaker is learning English, they will pronounce the word 'in' as if it were spelled 'een'. This is the 'i' in the English word 'machine'.

I didn't understand what you were trying to say about 'en'. This is both an English word and a Spanish word. Both are pronounced basically the same way.
