The invitation "Let's practice your English while watching Jackie Chan
movie"
suggests:
1 In everyday English we practise our skills and you
practise yours. The only common phrase that suddenly
switches from first person to second person is
"Let's you and him fight" (which may occur in Jackie
Chan movies.) NB American English does not maintain
the difference between practise (verb) and practice (noun.)
2. Talk by the audience is discouraged in most cinemas.
