Thank you. I'm still trying to figure out how to pronounce ikhfa correctly.

Like in this one, I believe my ن followed by ش was a bit too close to a normal ن. Like there should be a tiny bit less tension in my tongue but I'm working on it.

Yeah that’s correct.

Your getting the “qalqala” right. The pronounciation of the last letter being the “ba” and the “da” sound which was difficult for me and people around me at first.

In my opinion, the "qalqala" is just adding a short vowel sound at the end and changing the vowel sound based on the quality of the consonant.
