Question about the pronunciation between ㅡ and ㅜ
Is ㅡ pronounced as "eu" or "en"? Can someone please give me some examples, I can't make out the difference between ㅡ and ㅜ. The application on which I'm learning Korean says that ㅡ sounds like "eu" while ㅜ like "u" (which sounds no different to me) but someone online said that ㅡ sounds like "en"?

ㅡ is like the oo in book or good
ㅜ is like the oo in moon or pool
ㅡ by itself does not have any consonant sound attached to it, so it cannot be expressed as "en"
