I Am Learning French

Hello, well...or Salut!
I’m trying to practise French pronunciation. As a Spanish speaker whose language only have 5 sound vowels, I’m struggling at the beginning to pronounce some French vowels.
Could you help me by telling me words that contains the same /e/ as in Je or le.
And the /u/ like in words as tu or debut.
Thank you 🙂

@canadarm I understood you now better. You’re right. You have to close your lips and put them out as much as possible.
I know some words but I need lots of to practice it.
For example I have just recalled that salut also have a close u.
Thanks! 🙂
