Don't worry if you don't get verbs or pronounciation correct. If someone understands you, then you're doing great!
You'll become an expert after spending lots of time either reading, watching, or being around native speakers. And there's no pressure or rush to do that: no one will ( or should ) judge you for speaking imperfectly.
I usually try to learn English by reading and listening. There are very few people who can speak English in my country, so I can't practice.
Maybe a voice assistant set-up in English could be a way of practicing your english? Or maybe there's a practice section in Duolingo that could help.
If you're privacy-conscious you could simply disconnect it when you're done with it.
My phone is iOS. The language is set to English and I'm trying to use English while using Siri. I used Dualingo for a while, it is also useful.
