A long U is a long OO sound, which may also sound like YOO when following certain consonants. There is also a "short OO" sound that is midway between (uh) and (oo).

Long OO words : cool, moon, dune, suit, due (also do and dew), stew, lieu, deuce

Long OO (YOO) words : cute, fuel, uniform, beauty

(Short OO words : good, foot, soot, put, could)

To make a long "U" sound, position your mouth as if you're going to say "oo" as in "pool" but then say the sound of "Y" as in "you." This will create the long "U" sound you're looking for.
