How it's used
While 訓練 is standard for structured learning or skill development, it often sounds quite formal or institutional. In casual settings, people might prefer using phrases like 學嘢 or 練習 depending on whether they are talking about acquiring a new skill or repeating an action to get better at it.

Avoid using 訓練 for simple practice or rehearsal, as it implies a more rigorous or systematic program. For practicing a musical instrument or a sport, 練習 is the more natural choice.
