Tips to Remember:
β€’ Break the word into syllables: "ꡐ" (gyo) sounds like β€œgrow” (as in self-growth or education) and "μ–‘" (yang) can remind you of β€œnourishment” (as in nourishment for the mind). Think of "gyoyang" as "growing nourishment" for one’s intellect and manners.
β€’ Associate it with the idea of being well-cultivated or refined through learning and exposure to arts and broad knowledge.
