Should have been は instead of わ but I'll chalk that up to a typo, and usually you use れんしゅう for "practice". (If you're using the dictionary I linked, check the "commonly used words" box. It helps.) What you said, assuming those changes, was "As for us, practice is Japanese."
You could have said "nihongo no renshuu" (literally, "the practice of Japanese"; in context of the question that was asked ("what are you doing?") it would be "Japanese practice.") and you would have been satisfactorily correct. "nihongo wo renshuu suru"/"shimasu" would be "we practice Japanese" (or "shitteiru"/"shitteimasu" for "we are practicing Japanese") would have also been acceptable. Good try though :) Edit: *checks dictionary* >.> Whoops. Your "gakushuu" is perfectly valid for "study". ^^; It's marked as "common" although I would have probably used "manabu" or "narau". | ||||

おやすみ〜
Good night~ "desu ga," would have been more natural than "desu demo" -- it's the difference between "X, but Y" and "X. However, Y." Valid, and happens sometimes, but not as fluid. (And if you're going to use "desu demo" there should be a period after "desu" because that's two separate sentences.) | ||||

It's pretty true. I've known foreign exchange students whose internal monologues had switched to English. And when I was still in practice, I would think in Japanese pretty often.
That said, dreaming in a language doesn't mean you're completely fluent, just that you've internalized the language instead of thinking of it as foreign. As for practicing... Bafflebox and I used to hold entire conversations in Japanese, and sometimes we'd even get pretty philosophical about stuff doing so. Dictionaries help. XD Edit: Just for fun. さ、本当だよ。思いは英語になった留学生を知ってた。そして、練習の時に、僕もよく日本語で思 った。 それでも、ほかの語で夢を見ても、完璧に上手意味じゃない。外国語じゃないと思ってなっただけ だ。 (Literally: "Well, it's true. I knew exchange students whose thoughts had become English. And, when I was practicing, I would often think in Japanese. Nevertheless, even if you dream in another language, it doesn't mean that you're perfectly skilled. It's just that you started thinking that it wasn't a foreign language." That last sentence is really awkward to translate; the verb phrase I used more literally means "it became that you think".) | ||||
