You have a lisp?
Just practice and speak slowly when talking to others.
You can listen how words are spoken at www.webster.com
Speech therapy is expensive, they might be able to find out if there's an underlying cause though.

perhaps you have a speech impediment or a heavy accent. There is such a thing as a speech therapist.
Perhaps you could download words with those letters from the internet and listen and mimic the sounds.

If it's a recent development, then maybe you have cotton mouth. Try drinking a glass of water, and see if it helps! If it's a long term type of thing, perhaps taking some speech classes would help. There's lots of exercises to help you improve specific sounds.

Speech impediments are common. I would talk with your doctor to rule out any medical problems (your tongue may not be attached in the proper location), and then see a speech therapist for help.

A lot of people have the same problem, I don't know how old you are but if you are still in school have your parents seek help with a speech therapist

The anterior third of your tongue does not properly hit the your anterior half of your hard palate. May also be that you are used to speak another language and such sounds are hard for you to say.

Do you have a hearing loss? I have a severe-profound hearing loss and cannot properly pronounce "sh", "ch", "z", "s" (that's the big one!) and sometimes "r".

You probably have a lisp. There is nothing wrong with that so you are fine.
