There’s Yale Romanization for Korean which is even more accurate (morphophonemically) than 한글, but it looks hideous. You’ll agree once you have a look:
- 글자 → kul.qca → [kulcca]
- 같이 → kath.i → [kachi]
- 별로 → pyel.'lo → [pyello]
- 책들은 물건들입니다 → chayk.un mwul.ken.ip.ni.ta
For an English speaker, it’s about as unintuitive as it can get.

Lower I saw info about Yale Romanization (somehow I cannot replay to it) but in general I agree there's a problem with romanization. A few variants and non of them is perfect... like Park instead of Pak. When the Yale one looks better when it comes to the sounds how to learn orthography that way?

Part of learning a language is "training your ear" to the language, getting used to the sounds. After reading the posts, the power of suggestion planted "nin" in my head as well, but try to develop the habit of reading the Korean script, and associating that script with the sound you heard when the 으 was presented. A good exercise for reenforcing the vowel sounds is to go through the Korean alphabet with each vowel preceeded by the consonants in 가 나 다 (alphabetical order). 가가가, 나나나,다다다,라라라,마마마,바바바,사사사,자자자,차차차,카카카,타타타,파파파,하하하 거,거거, etc. After doing 그그그, 느느느,드드드 르르르,므므므,브브브,스스스, 즈즈즈,츠츠츠,크크크트트트프프프흐흐흐, a few times, the right sound will jump into your head when you see 으. It might be helpful to listen to one of several excellent youtube videos to make sure you get the pronunciation right.

In English, when you say "oo" like in the word "food," you round your lips. Try to say this vowel without rounding your lips. This is how you pronounce 으.
It's good to learn tge sounf each character makes do it's easier to say and/or understand. I used another app called Eggbun (i think) that helped out a bit. And a website that helped me out too. (Sorry, i forgot the website name) But i recommend learning all the sounds first before learning anything else.
