The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
One-Handed
1 of 3: The safest and easiest way to practice this skill is to use the two big skill-practicing opportunities in the first main quest. Keep hitting Hadvar or Ralof (whomever you're with) with a one-handed weapon.
2 of 3: Later on, the safest way to practice is to use a Conjuration spell to summon a weak bound creature, then hit it with a one-handed weapon. Just remember that it'll turn hostile if it's still alive after four hits, and you'll need to kill it or cast another creature-summoning spell before it kills you (or run around and dodge it until it vanishes).
3 of 3: Note that you can summon a bound sword instead of using a regular one-handed weapon in order to get more Conjuration practice. However, that'll use up a lot more magicka, and may slow down your One-Handed skill practice a bit.
