What should I do when I get stuck mid-sentence?
Pause, ask for repetition, describe the idea with words you know, or restart the sentence if needed. If an app offers translation or hints, check whether they help you express your own meaning. Read the English version carefully rather than assuming every automatic suggestion is correct.

Practice Sorry, could you say that again? and How do you say this in English? before adding a complicated script. The first asks someone to repeat; the second asks for an English expression. They are useful options, but the other person may still need more context.
You can also point to an object or describe what you mean using words you know. You do not have to finish every sentence in one attempt. Pause, ask for help, or restart if that makes the meaning clearer.
