Practicing
Hi y'all
I was wondering if this sentence was right:
I spent about two hours practicing with my d’s and t’s.
First, I doubted about the word 'praciticing', then I doubted whether I should use the preposition 'with'.
What I mean to say is that I spent two hours on trying to improve my pronunciation of d's and t's.
Could you help me?

Hi, Julie!
I'd say "to work ON", but I'd leave "practice" all alone...
BTW, GBEnglish is "practiSe"

Does 'about' is used to mean 'almost' in this context?

Well, not quite. "Almost" is close to the given amount but not more than that amount, whereas "about" can be both more or less.
Almost 2 hours = a little less than 2 hours
About 2 hours = 2 hrs +/-
Almost 2 hours = a little less than 2 hours
About 2 hours = 2 hrs +/-
