How to pronounce 와, 의, 왜, 워, 위, 외, 웨??????????? So, I know they are "wa, ui, wae, wo, wi, and we" but I don't know how to pronounce them correctly sometimes. In America, we pronounce every letter so it's harder to be more subtle like Koreans. ***Sometimes, it doesn't even sound like it has a "w" sound in some of the words!!!! ㅠㅠ Help me please!

ᅪ : Wa (like in Wario) ᅯ : Wo (like in Water). ᅫ, ᅰ and ᅬare all similar and require the use of different tones ᅫ sounds like the start of “Wag” ᅰ sounds like the start of “Wedding” ᅬ sounds like the start of “Weight”. ᅱ : Wii as in the Nintendo Wii. ᅴ a unique double sound like in the word “Gooey”.

I agree with this question, and I don't see a full answer here. Can anyone provide one? For example: 봤지 has the letter ㅘ . Seems like it should be pronounced "bwatt-ji", but it sounds like "batt-ji" . Is there some rule or name for this phenomenon?
