How to pronounce STR (strategy ) or SP ( specific)

[vytran]

Hello,
I have some probs pronouncing STR in "strategy", especially "strategically" OR SP in "specific" and "specifically"

Appreciate if you can help let me know if there is any tips on pronouncing these super-difficult words

Thanks heaps

How do they sound when you say them?

OH, i just simply cant pronounce it because of the combination of s and p/tr --> so i end up stuttering.
Thing gets worse when the stress is on the third syllable like specifically. When the stress is on the first syllable like specific, its abit better

Thats why i usually avoid to use these words
THanks
