1. You can only drill people, but not "my English". Example: His teacher drills him daily in the correct use of prepositions. 2. To drill means to instruct (someone) in something by means of repeated exercises or practice.

No, not really. A 'drill' is a specific type of classroom exercise involving repetition. It isn't a synonym of 'practice'.
