troublesome words I have to deal with.
Problems which I'm now dealing with are the words which have very similar spelling with others like the way "fertile" and
"futile" are. I thouht they were quite similar each other in meaning because to me they seemed to be similar in spelling when I saw them first time. They are different, or rather nearly opposite though as opposed to my guess. What a pain!

I did the correction in the previous sentence.
I thought they were quite similar to each other in meaning because to me they seemed to be similar in spelling when I saw them the first time.
You could also say : I thought they were quite similar in meaning because because the spelling seemed similar when I first saw them.
However, contrary to what I thought, they have different meanings.
You could also say : However, the words have different meanings, so my initial impression was wrong.
What a pain! This is correct !
I sympathise with you ! It's really hard learning a language isn't it ! I find the same problems with Japanese !
i have the same problem. i try and make up little phrases to help remember them.
e.g 'infertile seeds are futile'
Thank you!
