I often hear Germans say that their English is something they need to 'exercise'. Now when we exercise, we go to a gym, it's more physical. On the other hand we may refer to our home-work as exercises. Nevertheless in English we 'practise' a task to become better and more proficient.
The German 'Übung macht den Meister' translates into 'practise makes perfect'.
