Usage Note
Práctica contrasts with teoría: en la práctica (in practice) vs en teoría (in theory). The phrase hacer prácticas means to do an internship or work placement, not just 'to practise.' The adjective práctico (practical) is a common false friend — it does not mean 'practised' but rather 'practical/handy.'
Examples
"La práctica hace al maestro."
Natural Translation
Practice makes perfect.
Literal Translation
Practice makes the master.
