I’m having trouble pronouncing the “œ” sound in these words. It sounds to me like it’s in between “a” and “u”.

@Eria Actually, I was wondering to which vowel in English the “œ” sound is closest to. {a, i, u, e, o} – Segwayinto Jan 14 '16 at 16:42

4It'd be like how you pronounce the "ea" part in pearl, I'd say. – Paul Picard Jan 14 '16 at 20:51

Think about "hour". Split it in two syllables. What you are looking for is exactly the second one.
