Okay, please go to google translate first and set the language on **Dutch** ,
After that type in "Joeri", The thing I just can't get to sound right in
katakana writing is the "oe" sound. How should I write this or is this not
possible?

question
names
I can write katakana and hiragana but I cannot piece together how i would write my own name in japanese due to a difficult sound in it
If we believe what [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joeri) says:

> **Joeri** (/ˈjuːri/) is a Dutch transliteration of the Slavic masculine
> given name Yury (George) and as such a given name in Belgium and the
> Netherlands since the early 1960s.

The pronunciation (/ˈjuːri/) would be rendered ユーリ{HLL}. [ー represents long
vowel](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/77373/7810) (mostly in foreign
word). Note that Japanese ウ sound has less roundness and backness than typical
[[u]], that means people (especially in Tokyo) would pronounce it more like
"juuri" or "jeuri", but it can't be helped.

answer
I would write it out as ユゥリ. That would put more emphasis on the [oe] sound
rather than ユーリ but not as much [u] sound if it was ユウリ.
