Did I use correctly these words in the following sentences?
Recount: The aim of this report is to recount my experience doing an intership abroad.
Expound: I have two suggestions I would like to expound.
Endow: My suggestion is to endow the subjects with real world practice. (I have problems understanding this word and telling the difference with the word provide)

Did I use these words correctly ← in the following sentences?
If I were you, having written such nice example sentences, I would post them in the Notebooks section.

Recount has several meanings such as To Tell (I recounted/told the story to Jimmy), To Count Again (The owner always counts and recounts/counts all the money in this pockets), Recalculation Of Something (The recount/recalculation of votes was really useful for the job).
Expound usually means To Explain.
Endow means To Give or to fill with something in order to make it complete (In a more special way), like To Endow Huge Historical Knowledge, or I Am Endowed With Love. Just like Dotar in Spanish :)
Yes, they are used correctly!

Recount is verbal - it’s a synonym of ‘tell’, so I wouldn’t use it in this sentence
We need a preposition with ‘expound’ in that we expound on/upon something (allow me to expound upon the topic). It’s very formal English though - I’ve never used it outside of an academic situation
This is a perfect sentence and you’re right - endow and provide (in this context) have exactly the same meaning. The only difference is that ‘endow’ is a very formal word not used in everyday conversation.
Hope that helps!
