Newbie here. Going through core2k is suffering. These words don't follow patterns. The word for "this week" is the kanji for "now" + the kanji for "week" and you just put them together to pronounce them, which makes sense, but that's the only "compound word" really, that's okay,
Okay so the word for "this [time period]" is the kanji for "now" except it's pronounced as "ko" or "kon" and then just learn how the time period day/month/whatever is pronounced when appended to it, okay that sounds right it's kinda like how the words for counting numbers were ___tsu that's okay and suddenly you get "this year" which doesn't follow that pronunciation pattern at all it's pronounced fucking "rainen" and I'm sure there's more and I know every language is like this but god is it difficult I don't know if I'm ever going to make it if I'm struggling this much this early
