Practiquer equivalent of practise in English?
I believe that practiquer is not always interchangeable with practise. How would you say to someone: 'Let's speak French. It would be good for me to practise'. I would say 'Parlons en français. Il serait bien pour moi de practiquer.' But I feel like that is not really the proper way to say it in French. Can someone help?

Answer

Si, on emploie le verbe PRATIQUER (sans le "c") dans ce sens!
Mais c'est vrai qu'on emploie aussi d'autres expressions, comme: "Je voudrais bien m'entraîner", "J'aimerais bien mettre mon français en pratique".
