-S- I disagree with this. I think it's typically R in the top and L in the bottom, but neither of them are pronounced as hard as English Rs and Ls. 러시아 -> ruh-shi-ah 헬로 -> hel-loh 벌수 -> beol-su However, sometimes I agree with you. For example: 그를 -> keu-leul. You would think it's reul but most Koreans pronounce it leul. Spoken, 러시아 is pronounced 'luh-shi-ah', not ruh. -S-
What are you basing this on?
Obviously if you live in Korea you have experience with it, but I've also travelled in Korea and have never experienced "ㄹ= L". When I speak to Korean-Canadians or Korean-Americans, they usually agree that it initiates as R and ends as L. Talking Korean with Koreans has confirmed this. I've never heard a Korean person say "Lushia".

감사합니다! - Thank you! Thanks a lot!
It's really fun to learn Hangul in your blog. I'm really looking forward to the next lesson : ).
And i believe the "ᅳ" is pronounced like the german umlaut "ö" and the "ᅢ" like the german "ä". But i'm not sure about it, can someone tell me if i'm right or wrong?

I don't know the German letters, so I can't help you there. :3

I think umluats denote that you pronounce the letter's vowel sound. So you know the vowel's have two sounds? The vowel sound is the one that's the same as it's name.
At least that's what I think from playing TF2. I have a feeling I'll be wrong for umlaut "a."

That I've lived here for 4 years, take weekly Korean lessons and am somewhat conversant in the language. But I have a Korean lesson in a few hours, I will write 러시아, ask my Korean teacher to say it, not explaining why, and if she comes back with an 'R' sound, I will let you know.

kind of yeah, but the ㅡ is not exactly like the "ö" since it's more like eu,
not the german pronunciation of "eu" tho! 
but ㅐ is basically "ä"

My Korean teacher confirmed my earlier statements about the ㄹ/L/R issue. It's a soft L in 러시아, say as in the word 'lay', but it's still an L sound.

Personally, wouldn't In-chun be closer phonetically to the real pronunciation than In-cheon? I realize there are romanization standards, but still...nobody really uses eo in one way.

Are you talking about my italicized pronunciation thing?

It is, but I don't know why they don't use the simple phonetics when they transliterate it. The character ㅓ is closest (nearly identical, really) to the short 'u' sound in English, as in 'cut'. Or, for instance, 'bun' to the ~un sound in 인천.

Bold point 1: If it has at least 1 more character in front of it (or rather down below), yes. If it's the last character, it's more like a Turkish ı, if you know what I mean.
Examples:
1- 프레이그 (Playgu, I hope I wrote it correctly). It's definitely not pronounced as umlaut "ö". It's more like Turkish ı, if you know what I mean.
2- 이 성 은 (Lee Seung Eun, aka firebathero). It's pronounced as something like umlaut "ö" or "ü"
Bold point 2: That's a proper thing to say.
EDIT: Well, imo firebathero's name is clearly Lee Seung Eun, not Lee Sung Eun. Either it's me or TL romanization.

Hangul sounds manly. Almost like it could have its own beard.

Yeah, it's called the Schwa-Laut in Germany, like in the english word "earth" or the german word "alle".
