From what I'm seeing so far, your English is quite good (there's always room
for improvement in all of us!).

If you want formal English (as in Great Britain), it's "practise". In most
cases it won't matter (maybe it will matter if you're writing a book or a
thesis).

Good stuff!

No problem!

Capital E on English, but otherwise perfect!
