"mi español" or "el español"

"Tengo que practicar mi espanol cuando puedo"

"I have to practice my Spanish when I can"

Is it proper to say "mi español" in this sentence, or would "el español" be more proper. I ask because I don't know if suggesting that one possesses a language is proper in Spanish.

You could use either and you would be understood. Neither is less proper than the other.

Note though, that it is cuando not "quando."

You may also want to say "siempre que puedo" instead of cuando puedo.
