Pronunciation of [ɪ]
Sound [ɪ] is a short near-close near-front unrounded lax vowel, as in it[ɪt], hit[hɪt].
Position of the tongue (backness/height): The tongue is curved in the middle, but the tip is down, just behind the bottom front teeth. In this sound the tongue is not as close to the roof of the mouth as it is in sound [i:].
Lip position: Lips are in a neutral position; the corners of the lips are still pulled back a little bit, but without tension.
Jaw-dropping: The jaw is completely relaxed
Length: [ɪ] is a short sound.
Tenseness: [ɪ] is a lax vowel.
The commonest spellings for sound [ɪ] is i, as in six[sɪks], cinema[’sɪnəmə], or dinner[‘dɪnər]; a less common spelling is u, as in busy[‘bɪzi].

Dictionaries
The following dictionaries should be used to look words up:
Oxford advanced learner’s dictionary: http://oald8.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/
Free dictionary: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
Word Reference (Spanish translation): http://www.wordreference.com/
The phonetic transcription of words can be found in any of the three dictionaries; I recommend the first one, though.
What's up with "you and I" and "you and me"?
Let’s see:
The short answer is no. It should have been “you and me.”
Here’s the long answer:
This topic deals with subject pronouns and object pronouns.
Therefore, if “you and I” are performing the action, it should be “you and I”:
“You and I are best friends.”
“You and I are supposed to work together.”
“You and I crossed the finish line at the same time.”
(TIP: Never use “you and I” at the end of a sentence.)
If “you and I” are receiving the action, it should be “you and me”:
"The teacher picked you and me as study partners.”
"My parents will give you and me a ride to school today.”
"John promised to take you and me to Disneyland.”
(TIP: Never use “you and me" at the beginning of a sentence.)
