    Is G meant to sound like a rolling H, CH or coughing?

    Depends where you live and also on the word. There is a dialect in Dutch that uses a "zachte G" which means "soft G," they pronounce "G" differently than most people do. But most people find it unusual.

    Does any of this sound right?

    All of them make sense and sounds very native, except for the last one because it didn't sound like a word to me that we use in Dutch. The rest ("gaaf," [cool] "geen," [no] "ga," [going] "geeft" [gives]) were all Dutch words. Your pronunciation was great! Like I said, you sounded very native.

    I love in the airport in Amsterdam, they keep saying "Thanky Bell" after a bell rings over the PA.

    *ding*
    "thanky bell"

    My bad, I'm deaf.

    You need to put more emphasis on the "r" in "graag."

    You don't need to put emphasis on the "n" in "gaan."

    Here's how you pronounce "gaan":

    This should be a helpful page: https://nl.wiktionary.org/wiki/WikiWoordenboek:Hoofdpagina

    Just search for any word you want to know how to pronounce and look for the megaphone icon and press on the word next to it to find out how to pronounce it.

    People always made fun of the way I talk because it's high-pitched so it makes me really happy when people from different countries say I sound like one of them.

    I don't see what's there to make fun of. So I conclude they are jealous. Because to me, you sound like a local young Dutch woman.

    I mean when I speak English it's an abomination. My voice isn't as high-pitched when speaking other languages.

    Irish? I was under the impression you already spoke it fluently. I think German is a bit easier now that you know Dutch. I don't speak German but when I read a German text I can pretty much guess plenty of words.
