The "U" in french

Apprently the expression "Déjà Vu" is often used in english, however the anglo-saxons pronounce it "Deja vous" which means "Already you" rather than "already seen" (as it should).
How many of you can pronounce the "U" the way we do?
No, no, not like "You"...like "U"!
Like in "Urgent...humide, utile,...(gee, I hope the site works: BTW, the germans pronounce it the same way if there's an "¨" on top: here are several exercizes.

The trick: start prouncing the englis "E" then bring your lips in a circle (while still spelling "e")as if you were going to say "O"...The "u" will come very easily....
It's so easy...it's just a vowel after all!
