s+th phrases

Hello,

I have no problem pronouncing /th/ or /s/, however

sentences that contain these are difficult

"is that"
"is there"
"is this"

i have no problem with individual sounds however when they're all close to each other it's difficult and doesn't appear to flow naturally.

FeathersWhen the TH combination connects with certain sounds, the two sounds blend together to form a composite sound. In the following examples [with lemon], see how the TH moves back and the L moves forward, to meet in a new middle position. (p.63)

Hey Feathers,
you know what? I asked about this some time ago, and I was told that's not true..

Kooyeen I just keep my mouth relaxed...
Hey Kooyeen, I couldn't agree with you more! After going through Ann Cook's book, I noticed how stiff my mouth and throat are. I decided to start singing aloud in English (when I'm alone). It does work
