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)
