The longer and less frequency English words are, the harder I memorize them.
There is an exception.
If I have mistakes in English articles, some native speakers kindly suggest easier way to describe them.
However, the alternative words are sometimes hard to memorize.

英単語が長く珍しいものになるにつれて、覚えるのが難しくなってくる。
ただ例外もある。
私が英語の記事を書く中で間違いをすると、ネイティブの人達が親切にも簡単な言い換えを提示してくれる。
しかしながら、たまに言い換えた単語の方が覚えるのが難しかったりもする。

The longer and less frequency English words are, the harder I memorize them.


The longer and less frequencyt English words are, the harder I memorize them. The longer and less frequent English words are, the harder I memorize them.

The longer and less frequencycommon English words are, the harder I work to memorize them. The longer and less common English words are, the harder I work to memorize them.

Although we speak of word frequency lists, it is doesn't work to say 'the less frequent words are...'. You would have to explain what you mean by frequent: e.g. 'the less frequently they appear in texts'

You mean 'obviously'. Obliviously is a completely different word (meaning completely unaware of something). Obvious isn't wrong in that context. It just didn't sound right. And I think you're trying to say that 'put off' seems like it should be easier to memorize'. Whether that's obvious to everyone isn't really the point.

I don't really see how this follows. You're talking generally about using simpler words to replace words that are hard to learn, and then suddenly you are speaking specifically about verbs and prepositions. Your example was indeed a verb, but your discussion of it didn't suggest you were only talking about verbs and prepositions. And I don't think you would choose verbs-preposition combinations; you would choose the words you find difficult to memorize and look for simpler synonyms, which might or might not be verb-preposition combinations.
