Advice on trouble pronouncing “t”, “d”, or “l” after r

I’ve been learning for quite a while and still can’t pronounce words where one syllable ends in an r and the next begins with a t, d, or l. For example, tarde, probarte, perderlo. I always end up kind of slurring the syllable after the one that ends with an r or sounding like I have a lisp.

I don’t seem to have as much of an issue with the reverse (when one of those letters is followed by an r). For example, I can pronounce otro or padre.

Any advice on how to improve this? I’ve tried breaking the words down and repeating in parts slowly but haven’t had any success.
