Spanish Diphthong "eu" help

votes
Hello everyone- So, I'm trying to figure out how to pronounce this dang "eu" diphthong! lol. With every other diphthong, there has been an English word to help me with the pronunciation (i.e. "ua" makes a wah sound, similar to the English word "wasp.") So, I'm desperately seeking any advice/help/examples of Spanish words that demonstrate this diphthong so I can learn how to say it. Thank you in advance. As always, you guys are the best!

You can create that sound combining the "e" from "The" and the "u" from "Perú".
Get it?
