Oddly enough, that and its twin are ones I have little trouble with because the “two dukes” mnemonic actually works pretty well.

I had to read “two dukes” in at least 5 different accents to understand the connection 
. I very much rely on hearing when remembering vocab (echoic memory) so pronunciation mnemonics don’t really work for me 
. For 船, for instance, I don’t hear the “fun, eh?”. Rather, I remember how ridiculous the mnemonic itself is and that way remember the vocab item 
I encountered this gem yesterday:
Such a wasted opportunity T.T

That song released in August the same year WK went live so the mnemonic was already written.
…but that doesn’t stop the power of user synonyms.

Not sure what it is about that word but I remember having that exact problem, keep at it.

Generally more scholarly or abstract terms will use on’yomi, while more basic terms historically used by the illiterate masses will use kun’yomi. For me, just taking a moment to consider this context during the lessons/reviews for exceptions to jukugo patterns like 村人 makes it much much easier to remember which reading a word takes.
Just look at this dunce. Do you think he ever studied any Kanji?
