Pronunciation Guide
The first syllable, 조 (jo), sounds like 'joe' in English. The second syllable, 경 (gyeong), is pronounced like 'gyung' in 'young' but with a slightly harder 'g' sound at the beginning, almost like 'kyung'. The 'eo' vowel is similar to the 'aw' in 'saw' but shorter. Stress is fairly even across both syllables.
