Jenta and jente are not the same but are similar enough that some ears may not be able to differentiate at first. Also 'are' is the correct usage in this case

Jenta is pronounced /jɛntɑ/
, while jente is pronounced /jɛntə/
.
Pay attention to the presence of the indefinite article to help yourself in differentiating en/ei jente from jenta.
