Sound-by-Sound Breakdown - Phonemes with IPA, tongue/lip/jaw positions, common substitutions

/d/ - voiced alveolar stop; tongue tip touches alveolar ridge, light release. Common substitution: /d/ to /t/ in fast speech.
/ɪ/ - short near-close near-front; position: relaxed jaw, minimal lip rounding. Common substitution: /ɪ/ to /iː/ in stressed position.
/l/ - alveolar lateral approximant; tongue blade lightly touches the alveolar ridge; lips relaxed. Mistake: glottal stop replacement under stress.
/ˈtiː/ - stressed long front vowel; tongue high, lips neutral; avoid shortening to /ti/. Common substitution: /tiː/ to /ti/.
/ə/ - schwa; relaxed jaw; minimal mouth movement.
/z/ - alveolar voiced fricative; tip at the alveolar ridge; avoid voiceless /s/.
/ɛm/ - syllabic nasal with a short e; lip closure minimal.
Substitutions often involve rounding or shortening vowels; ensure crisp /tiː.ə/ sequence and a short final /ɛm/.

Accent Variations - Compare US/UK/AU with rhoticity, vowel quality differences

US: rhotic; American speakers maintain /r/ in subsequent syllables when present, but this term ends with /zɛm/; vowel /ɪ/ in the first syllable is typically short.
UK: non-rhotic; the r-sound does not appear after vowels; maintain clear /ˈtiː.ə/ with less post-vocalic r.
AU: often centralized vowels; keep the same stress and final /zɛm/ but may exhibit a somewhat softer /iː/ and more compact vowel durations. In all accents, the rhythm and the stressed second syllable are pivotal.
