Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
My older brother always gives me advice when I have problems at school.
In my opinion, parents should give advice to their children about how to manage money responsibly.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: Let me give you an advice.
Say: Let me give you some advice.
'Advice' is uncountable — no 'an advice', no 'advices'. Use 'some advice' or 'a piece of advice'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
Natives 'give advice'; 'provide recommendations' sounds like a business report.
