Having a foreign penpal (all one word) is a good way of practicing a language.

We don't say "a good way of + noun", you need "of + verb-ing" in this context.

Or you could say "a good way to practice a language" but "practicing" matches "having" at the beginning of the sentence.

Thank you!

In BrE it is 'a good way of practising...'. The verb is practise, the noun practice.

Oops! Thanks 5jj, I didn't even noticed I'd typed a "c".
