I always tend to mix up words that I learn at the same time if they have similar pronunciations.

It happened before with 遭逢 zāoféng (meet with, come across) and 交锋 jiāofēng (clash, confront). Pronunciation is not even that similar, but I’m having such a hard time with those two!

And now the same happens with 心虚 xīnxū (be afraid of being found out) and 心绪 xīnxù (state of mind).

The problem is that once I start mixing them up, it gets worse and worse. The only way is to use hints in Anki.
