English is not my first language. I have just watched the movie Easy A. I understood its content a little bit but I don't understand what the title means.
I often hear many Native English speakers put the sound "ei" after an adjective when they express the degree of an attribute of a certain thing, something like,
- 'it's easy ei',
- 'hard ei',
- 'cool ei',
- 'she's good ei',
- 'he's bad ei' …,
especially in Australia.
Does 'A' in Easy A mean "ei"?

"A" does not mean "ei" in this context, it means a high grade one gets in school. ("A" for excellent achievement, "B" for above average, "C" for below average", "D/E/F" for fail, depending on the school.)
The phrase "Easy A" is a common slang expression in the US meaning a subject in which one can get high marks without trying too hard.
