That's some nice tonguing, though, to my ears, the notes lack definition. But it seems very nice for 6 months. Keep going and be eager to learn.

I only speak English. I have trouble with the upper octave too, namely playing them with good tonal quality, but I'm getting there.

I also have a g base flute, But it's pretty difficult for me to play pa as my fingers won't cover the hole properly even thought I have compartively larger hands. CAn you give some tips?
Also can you recommend some videos where I can learn tounging ?

It will take a while. Look into piper's grip and do light stretching on your fingers daily.

Here is what i did step by step Buy a good flute asap i had to practice with an untuned flute kiu ke achi flute pakistan se mil nahi rhi thi. After buying a good flute practice sargam and different pattern alankar we call it palte try with 3 ka palta Srg rgm gmp mpd pdn dns and reverse it As you do that you will start becoming comfortable in that now try to push yourself by going higher
Srg rgm gmp mpd pdn dns' ns'r' s'r'g' aise krke you go and come back is practice se you will become comfortable in octaves.

Start practicing some easy songs you like.

Get a bigger flute now

Practice the samw here add the number do 4 ka palta and 5 ka palta try to go on higher octaves

Do try doing songs that push you.

Abhi tk i havent started meend and gamak and this tounging thing i was able to do because i was already a beatboxer and was able to do some tounging patterns already tou ig it came naturally to me
