Register and Nuance
"実習" is a neutral and formal term suitable for academic and professional settings. It implies structured, supervised practice rather than casual or informal experience.
Common Mistakes
Learners sometimes confuse "実習" with "練習" (れんしゅう), which means practice but usually refers to skill repetition rather than real-world application. Use "実習" when referring to practical, on-site training.
