I am not a native , so it is hard for me to find out the difference between the words with similar letters.
e.g.
what I really see is "word start with subs and include Ts and As".
Is there a better way to learn this kind of words ?
The trick of learning anything, be it language, or anything, is to associate the words with an object, or a sentence. These kinds of questions are generally off-topic here, but this may help you.
When somebody says 'substitute' to me, the first thing that comes to my mind is a game of football. You substitute a player. Or I remember a classroom, a substitute teacher. That way, I'll never forget what substitute means. Use examples.
Similarly, associate these words with examples, sentences and objects. Initially that method maybe slow, but once it sets in, you will not have a problem.
If you say substance to me, I recall the terms 'chemical substance'. Now I'll not forget what it means. Similarly, use associations to help you learn.
