Yes, U.S. English typically follows the spelling convention of placing "u" before the letter "q" in words like "queen" or "quite."
Some words that start with a short U sound are umbrella, up, under, and umpire.
In English, the letter "U" is considered a consonant when it is pronounced as the "y" sound in words like "unify" or "university." This happens when "U" is followed by a vowel, making it act as a consonant in those cases.
Some baby words that start with the letter U include "up," "uh-oh," "under." And some baby words that start with the letter I include "I," "it," "is."
