Does the word "practise" exist in English? If it exists, what would be the difference between "practice" and "practise"?

No difference in meaning, just different dialects of English. "Practice" is American / Canadian, while "practise" is British / Australian. Same story with "color" vs "colour" or "honor" vs "honour"

Yes, it does exist, but Joe has not given you the full story: it is NOT a simple question of American/British spelling like color/colour. Here are the facts: In British English, there IS a difference between 'practice' and 'practise'. They are different words. The word 'practice' is a noun - as in "I need some practice" or "This practice is dangerous" - while the word "practise" is a verb - as in "I need to practise" or "I'm practising my dance steps". In American English, both the noun and the verb are written the same way: always with a 'c'. Word of advice: Always wait a while until someone comes along with the correct answer rather than clicking 'Best Answer' straight away. The first answer you get isn't necessarily the right one !

In British, there is actually a slight difference. "Practice" would refer to the noun -> "It's common practice to check the spelling in your assignment" "Practise" would be used as a verb -> "I should practise my English in order to speak fluently" I hope that helped :)
