Please help with this question

First, sorry for the double post. I posted anonymously then realized that I would never be able to find my post again.

I am trying to help my foreign friend and we are stuck on this question and dont agree on which is correct.

We can help each other get better at [ ].

- proper speaking ( She says this is correct. That speaking is used as a nount )
- properly speaking
- speaking properly ( I think this one is correct but I am mainly saying it because it sounds right to me as a native speaker )

Any help is appreciated.
