Please teach me a quick way to pronounce this

Hi, I find it a bit tongue-twisted whenever I need to pronounce some words that end with 't' and then followed by 's', for example, scientists, artists, terrorists.

Can someone teach me how to say it quick and clear?

Thanks a lot.

The only way that occurs to me is setting your tong right up your upper front teeth while you open slightly your mouth downwards.

0 If you're in Texas, substitute "ss" for "sts". Lengthen the "s" sound. 02br

00Otherwise, practice "ts" by itself as one quick sound. The main sound is "s". The "t" just interrupts the flow of air for a millisecond or so. 02br
02br
00The "ts" combination is found all over the place, not just in the word "tsar". 02br
