Hi. It's a 'blend' of /t/ & /s/, i.e. /ts/ which is like the /ts/ at the start of Cantonese words 遲、菜 & 楚, just that the tongue tip has to be pushed further outwards. Hope that helps.

Watch the stress: It should fall on the 3rd syllable, plus, there's a secondary stress. 可以弄一條片談談。

Ben sir 可以請教一下 failure /ˈfeɪljə(r)/ 後面個 ljə 係點樣發音嗎? 我平時只係讀成 /ˈfeɪlɪə/,類似的情況仲有million。thank you (我估increase (n) 都係一個常讀錯的字,仲有consultation,我自己都非常鍾意研究發音😃)

Hi! @9810johnny, good to see your comment. It's usually /'feɪlijə/ or, increasingly, 2-syllable /'feɪljə/. This compression is probably triggered by the /iː/ being preceded by a stress syllable and followed by /j/ in words like 'million’ and 'onion'. The more common the word and causal the context, the more likely compression happens. Best of luck with your phonetics journey :)
