라 [ra] or [la], you know the musical scale, la 랴 [rya] or [lya] 러 [ro] or [lo] / [rʌ] o [lʌ] but, I recommend you pronounce like [lo-] in 'love' 려 [reo], [leo] [rio] [lio] its sound is quite hard to explain but think about 'Korea', and the word "Korean" is originally came from "고려" and you can make this sound to say [lio] quickly 로 [ro] or [lo], it looks confusing with 러 but it is more like [ro] in rod or [lo] in lord 료 [ryo] or [lyo] - You just make sound r or l +'yo' quite quickly and you can make the sound of 료. Yo girl, you can do this! 루 [ru] or [lu] but its sound is actually the same as "loo' as toilet in British English. I go to the loo to pee 류 [ryu] or [lyu], I think I will be easy. Do you know the famous actress, Lucy Liu? Its sound is more like Liu in her name. 르 This is the most difficult part because you didn't use vowel 'ㅡ' Think about 'pro-' in professor. How can you make the sound pr ? There, you just pronounce p without any vowel, right? The sound of ㄹis made that way. We must use the combination of consonant and vowel, so we put the vowel 'ㅡ' under the any consonant, 그/느/드/르/므/브/스/으/즈/츠/크/트/프/흐 etc. So, I might say, you can make sound 'lm' for 름 and 르 sound can be R in 'Rwanda" 리 You know this sound, lee, the famous jean make. 말을 I will write down the way I hear its sound [ma-rul] You shouldn't say 말 and 을 separately How can you say 'want to' ? Like the same way, you can make the sound as 마+를.

I'm not going to throw in my pronunciations because I'm not a native speaker, haha. However, since all the pronunciations you asked for included the consonant ㄹ, I'll link you to a few wiki pages that I found immensely useful when learning this consonant!
