Amazon has a few really cheap keyboard skins that fit right over the keys and have both the romanized letters you're accustomed to seeing paired with the hangul characters. I've found this immensely helpful in learning to type. You can also print off a keyboard guide and hang it on your wall next to your computer. I found that helpful as well so I can practice typing while looking at the screen as opposed to the "hunting and pecking" method.

If you really wanted to, you could order keyboard stickers. It's best just to practice the way you did when you were learning to type in English (yes, you can see the English letters but when learning to type your eyes should have been glued to the screen.) So just go crazy typing. Print out something in Korean (doesn't matter if you understand a word of it), set it near you, and type it up.

Typing in Korean just takes practice :) I also want to note that these letters are all out of order (based on the actual alphabetical order). I extreme agree that romanization aids in remembering the general idea of the letter early on but it does not reflect true Korean pronunciation. To learn that, you have to listen and practice speaking.

Romanized letters are good for remembering but useless when it comes to pronunciation. It makes more sense to look for words in your language that have similar sounds and example words of the language itself. Btw ㅝ weo . Depending on your operating system I suggest you to install the language. Windows 8 does have a nice desktop keyboard and Mac probably too.
