Practice, Training, Drill
noun, verbal noun
You practice something to learn it. That's still called practice! The important part about this is that you're learning while you practice too. It's right in the word. So, when you practice kanji and Japanese vocab, make sure you're learning as well as practicing. If you're not learning, you're not really practicing, are you?
