Korean: How to pronounce complicates syllables as 월?
I'm new to Korean, and I'm really interested in learning Hanja. I read almost fluent Hangeul.
But when I began to look up Hanja, the Hangeul version of 月 is 월. That's two vowels in one syllable. How is that pronounced? And how do I write it on my keyboard?
Also, do you know any good/'trustworthy' sites for learning hanja?

1. Don't say you "read almost fluent Hangeul." No-one would ever say "I read fluent alphabet". A two-year old toddler wouldn't say "I read fluent alphabet"; she would say "I know my ABCs". You should say instead "I almost have the hang of Hangeul".
2. Just like an english word, break it down into pieces. Read top to bottom.
ㅇ = silent
ㅜ = oo
ㅓ = uh
ㄹ = l
"weol" (If you're familiar with Korean romanization, if not, then "wuhl".) To write it on your keyboard, just type the letters in the order above.
wul.
