Almost, but not ü is not pronounced as oo in "soon". As English doesn't have a sound like French u (or German ü, as in "über"), I think this is the best approach.

Budgerigars, ceiling fans, the Times of India are all part of the luggage I brought into the world... Blue Jesus leaked into me; and Mary's desperation, and Joseph's revolutionary wildness, and the flightiness of Alice Pereira... all these made me, too.
