Hello! I am confused.
Someone writes (Let's practice English) and someone writes (Let's practise English)

Jenny is right. The spelling depends on whether the writer is using American or British English spelling conventions.
British English:
practise = verb
practice = noun
As Jenny says, this is easy to remember, because it follows the same pattern as advise (verb) and advice (noun).
American English:
practice = verb and noun

Hi. In UK English rather than American English practise is a verb, eg I practise speaking English every day. Practice is a noun eg I went to my doctor's medical practice. If you can't remember think of advice and advise, which follow the same pattern, but are pronounced differently.
I think in American English they only use practice.
Hope this is helpful.

The internet says that practice is a noun, practice is a verb.
But in real life, I think, "practice" is the more commonly used version, and is used interchangeably as a noun or verb.
'c'
