Hi,
Do you think the word “shelves” is pronounced clearly in the sentence from the link below?
You can see six separate shelves.

Yes. Perhaps the American accent is causing you difficulties.

Thanks, now I know the reason why I can’t hear it.
/t/ in “seperate” is linked with /ʃ/ in “shelves” and therefore, sh in shelves sounds like /tʃ/.
