Don't confuse with

今こん秋しゅう
今秋 (this autumn) and 今週 (this week) are pronounced identically as こんしゅう but refer to completely different time spans, so context or kanji is needed to tell them apart.
来らい週しゅうN5
来週 refers to the week after this one, whereas 今週 refers to the current week; learners sometimes mix up which is which.
週しゅう内ない
週内 means 'by the end of this week' (a deadline), while 今週 simply means 'this week' as a time period, so learners sometimes mix them up when trying to express a due date.
今こん月げつN5
今月 means 'this month' while 今週 means 'this week', so learners must be careful not to mix up the time unit.
