One of my French friends who is learning Korean sent me this list to help with pronunciation, so I thought I would post it here ^^ I don't know if such a list has already been posted, and if it has, feel free to delete this one ^^;

Korean Characters Pronunciation )

The problem with trying to explain one language's sounds in another language is that that other language might not have all the sounds of the first language. I'm not criticising what you or your friend have compiled but you're going to run into trouble in the future if I don't say something now.
ㅔ/ㅐ are both pronounced as "e" now.
ㅖ/ㅒ are both pronounced as "ye" now.
There are two "o" when they are both different sounds. ㅓ is exactly like the "o" in "on". ㅗ is not a very common sound in American English (I had a look at your location on your info page) but in IPA it's represented by /oː/. Helpful if you know IPA ㄴㅇㄴ if you don't... look it up?
As I was telling Boyfriend yesterday, there's a big difference between:
돈줘 donjo ("give me some money")
던져 donjo ("throw it")
ㅈ is j, never g; ㅋ is k, never ch.
I'm 피니쉬.
