Visit www.nwsoar.com for more accent reduction & pronunciation resources. Which long oo words do you regularly use? Can you think of any more words that have the Y insertion before the U? Let me know in the comments.

Hello Jaehyeok. Thank you for your kind words. I am happy to do private lessons with you any time. It's probably better to talk about that by email. You can send me a private message at [e-mail]

I understand that long u has 2 sounds : the oo sound as in food , noon , suit ,new and the u sound argue ,cute ,use ,you .Am i right ???

[@EnglishWithAccentCoachNicole]

Yes, kind of. Phonics calls the long U the one with the Y sound, like cute and huge. The call noon and food the long oo sound.
