Hi there!
Korean really has no emphasis on vowels. I think the mean by "emphasized vowels" are actually one of the consonants like ㅃ,ㅉ,ㄸ,ㄲ,ㅆ. But these are consonants not vowels.
I really do not know what kind of vowels of Korean have emphasis. Unlike English, you really do not have to give emphasis on Korean.

How do you differentiate between ㅛ and ㅕ?
ㅛ sounds like 'yo'; ㅕ sounds like 'yeo'
How do you differentiate between ㅛ and ㅕ when verbally spelling a word?
If you meant by grammatically, then I really need some time to get clear and straight answer for it.
If you meant by pronunciation, then I really need to record my voice or make a video explaining it.
The parts you are asking is quite complex. Please be more specific on what you are asking.

The difference between 오 and 어, is that the first is a short " o" sound like in while the latter is more of a prolongued o like "ooh" from pronouncing the english alphabet but with a little softer intonation. also the first is more pronounced with your throath whith an open mouth. the latter is less created with your throath and requires an o shaped mouth.
similar is with the 요 and 여 sound its the similar sound with an added y. so yo and yoh. remember that the latter sound more like the english expression "yo" with a softer intonation on the "o" that in the english expression, the korean "yo" is a short and hard "o"
I unfortunatly counld not come up with an english wordt that properly pronounces this hard and short korean 오.
I hope this explanation somewhat helps, I myself also still have problems with proper pronounciation during pronounciation class. but for me the ㅍ ㅂ ㅃ, ㅅㅆ and ㄱ,ㅋ,ㄲ. are a real trouble because I have a hard time hearing the difference when koreans pronounce them. let stand pronounce them myself.
since it sounds like your doing selfstudy let me hint u on one weird pronounciation rule. then a ㅅ and l are combined like the word 신문(newspaper) is not pronounces as sinmun/sinmoen but as shinmun/shinmoen. while with other combinations of vowels and ㅅ the h is usually not there (correct me if I am wrong)

레몬 할때 레
I was looking for something like the example above.
Like Chung-Hee I have a hard time understanding what u mean,
do u mean somethat like
a from apple, b from bear, c from cup, d from drink??
because when I put your example into englsih script its something like " lemon halea le" I dont understand the ephasis in this example because there is no a from apple in there.

We don't normally break down by vowels or consonants but by syllable.
Just like the example you gave us "레몬 할때 레"
직원: 성함이?
예자 : 예자입니다.
직원: 애자요?
예자: 아니요. '예술'할때 '예'자에 '자석'할때 '자' 요.
If you want to differentiate ㅕ vs ㅛ, keep in mind that we never use vowel alone but it is always accompanied by ㅇ.
So you are actually comparing 여 vs 요.
You can use words that contain either 여 or 요 to distinguish them.
Example) 여자할때 여, 요술할때 요
