I quote my Langensheidt German English Dictionary:
"..almost like the French u in sur. It may be acquired by saying "i" through fairly closely rounded lips."
I speak German, and still don't quite understand the definition. It is much closer to the OOOH and nothing like YOU.
It is one of those foreign sounds that you just have to go to Germany to learn...Anyone up for a road trip???
