As a Dutch speaker I am amazed how many foreigners actually really struggle with our "G" sound, most of them turn it into a "K" sound. To create the "G" sound you have to press the back of your tong against your palate, and force air by it's side and pretend to be a vicious animal. To my opinion the Indian guy did the best pronunciation.
