The sound-symbol correspondence [é] and [er] sounds like the 'é' and 'er' in 'répéter', to repeat, repeating.
The infinitive form of a verb gives its general meaning, e.g. to listen, listening.
French infinitives often end in -er, e.g., écouter.
When the infinitive starts the sentence, it is translated -ing, e.g., listening.

[er] in French sounds the same as in English; as in the word 'colder', for example.

[é] and [er] have the same sound in French.
