I pronounce the first syllable very similar to "Jule" she pronounces the first syllable as "Jew."

JULE-lee-et
JEW-lee-et

Do you stop between syllables or something? I don't see how Jool is different from Jew+l

I think the difference must be like the difference between saying ew (yuck) and oo (neato).

but wouldn't oo as in neato sound like the oe in Joe and toe etc? Because I don't know anyone who says JOE-lee-et or JO-lee-et. It always sounds like JOO-lee-et/JEW-lee-et just as Julie sounds like JEW-lee. Just wondering.

I meant when people say "Ooooh" and they mean something is nifty/neato - not like a sound in the word "neato" but just the ooo sound like BOO! or cool or .... for me, like Juuuuliet.
