Japanese small tsu つ - How do you pronounce it?

Let's learn how to pronounce Japanese small "tsu", つ in Hiragana and ツ in Katakana. The small "tsu" is used to spell Double Consonants in Japanese. For example, a word like "Nissan" has two consonants "ss" in sequence and we call such sequences double consonants. When it comes to double consonants, no matter if the consonants are "kk" "pp" or something else, there is only one way to pronounce them in Japanese. I will explain how to pronounce double consonants with small "tsu" in Japanese.
