Well, what do you mean by practicing?If you see the word practice in the dictionary it also means "the customary, habitual, or expected procedure or way of doing of something." Doctors practice medicine and Lawyers practice the law. By this corelation , whatever you do in the English Language, you are actually practicing it. Converse without any self doubt or inhibitions, enjoy the process of being corrected. Read what you write, speal what you read and hear what you say until you can sing it to yourself. Immerse yourself into the beauty of the language. The beauty of expression and the beauty of limitations. Talk to me and i will share the joys of learning with you. read less

Repeat after someone i.e a person who is hosting a show in English. Try to grasp the fluency of the person. This is also a kind of practice :)
