I find I have the most trouble recalling these kinds of words, particularly during conversation. More-so the not uncommon but less common ones, especially when there's similarity between them. I don't have trouble with these specifically but for example 生活、解説、清潔、警察 are similar enough in their pronunciation that they might get mixed up if there isn't a large amount of exposure.
I've been trying to incorporate mnemonics to strengthen recall but these kinds are definitely tougher to apply them to.
Does anyone have any tips? Or is this something y'all can at least relate to?
EDIT: Specified "when speaking/during conversation"
