you needn’t read it very clearly, almost everyone understand you in china.
In English, [ds'] is pronounced as [dz'], which is the same as the pronunciation of [z] in Chinese Pinyin and the Pinyin of子(zǐ). [z]
belongs to blade-alveolar. When pronouncing it, the bottom teeth bite gently to
stop the extension of the tongue’s tip, unaspirated. If the answer does not

for me it sounds very close to the English [dz] as in ‘beds’. There might be some minor differences though.
