Once you have a whole paragraph you should read it aloud while you recording yourself in order to revise it and make corrections to your speech in Spanish (according to you).

To recap and even improve the idea:

You should choose a novel in Spanish, hopefully one that you have already read in English and that you liked it a lot. And ideally a novel that it also available in Spanish in narrated form by a native. That way you can always check yourself against the "real" thing.

¡¡Muchas gracias!!
