Speech & Pronunciation

I have trouble pronouncing ending sounds followed by a consonant

Like the title said, I have trouble doing that. For example, I don't know how to speak things like:

- Seat cover.

- Hooked them up.

- Bashed them up.

- Formed the alliance.

Or many things else like that.

Whenever I speak those things, I always try to emphasis the final sound, making it feel forced and unnatural. And when I put them to Google Translate, it seems to just ignore the final sound, which I find really weird.

It would be nice if someone could show me how to pronounce these. Thank you.

You have to understand the terms "voiced" and "unvoiced." Here is a guide:
