Default Questions about pronunciation (my question day? :-)

Dear teachers,
Please look at the following words:

baths, sixth , months, mouths

How to pronunce such words? I find it very difficult.

My puzzle is that , say "baths", if I read them, I have to pronunce "th" and "s" separately and clearly. But this really sounds weird, and in movies and radio and television programs I never heard native speakers pronunce them separately and clearly. Oh my god, plz help me.

Thanks

Does that help?

Over emphasized your pronounciation in front of a mirror. Make fun of yourself! Does Japanese have similar sounds? If so play games. Use familar words in rapid session then slip one with ths in.
