 You can pronounce this vowel ‘어’ when
you try to pronounce ‘아’ with opening
your mouth smaller, ‘어’ like in ‘ugly’.

When there are two lines when there's line-doubled

that means ‘Y’ sound is added at the front.

For the tall vowels you put the consonant next to it, on
the left side.
And for the fat vowels, you put consonant above the
vowel to form a square because if you put consonant next
fat vowels, it will take up too much space.

‘ㅡ’ is easy to remember because if you imagine this is a
face of a person with these two eyes, when you
pronounce this vowel, you should make your lips as flat
as this vowel. Also it has similar sound you make when
you are disgusted like ‘으~’.

Depending on where you put the short line, either above

or below ‘ㅡ’ vowel, you can form two different vowels.
When you put the line above, it becomes ‘ㅗ’, and when
you put the line below, it is ‘ㅜ’.
Let me tell you how to remember these two vowels easily.
Think of expression ‘Oh!’ when you are surprised. It
sounds like it has two syllables in Korean in ‘Oh(오우)’.
When we say ‘Oh(오우)!’, First ‘오’ has higher pitch, so
when line goes upward it is ‘ㅗ’, and the second one ‘우’
has lower pitch, so when line goes downward it is ‘ㅜ’.

Now, we have these vowels ‘요’ and ‘유’(ㅛ, ㅠ).
Do you remember what sound is added when there is
line-doubled?
Yes! ‘Y’ sound is added at the front.
