The difference between voiced and voiceless (especially at the end of words) is important:

• In Dutch we usually pronounce the (written) D at the end of a word like a T: land, band, vriend, hond 
• The D at the end of words in English sounds like D (voiced, niet voiceless)
• Why important: because these sounds can change the meaning:
• and vs ant    /    lend vs lent      /     tend vs tent      /       bed vs bet
  

TIP: Voiced ending? Try to lengthen the vowel: ant vs aaaand
