This is what we usually say in Brazil. It is very common to say \"praticar\" (to practice) regarding languages.

"Praticar" doesn't convey the exact meaning of "to practice" although it is often used in this context.
I prefer the two options I have given you. They mean, literally "to exercise" and "to train", respecitvely, which is what one actually means when one says "practice".
YOUR SENTENCE:
Estou exercitando (treinando) o Português.
