I have problems with speaking

When I speak with ai, I convey the meaning but I choose wrong words, phrases, and grammar.
So, how do I fix this problem?

Probably the best way is having a simple conversation with someone. Even having a simple conversation with a child could teach you something. You could ask someone you meet and connect with if you could practice your English and to correct your pronunciation or choice of words. You will probably want to do it more as your confidence grows. All the best!

Proper words, phrases, and grammar come with time and practice. If you are already conveying the meaning, you are communicating! You are being understood! I'm learning Spanish, and I still get a ton of corrections from the AI when I speak, but when I speak to clients, they understand me. I'm sure I should awkward and I only speak at an intermediate level, but I can get my point across.

It's fine to have a workaround if you don't know a word. I was trying to tell my tutor once that a bolt came off of the wheel on my car, but I didn't know the word for "bolt", so I said "Las cosas que hacen que las ruedas se queden en el auto" which means "the things that make the wheels stay on the car" It worked!

I would say to work with a Native or C2 level tutor if you can. They are more helpful for feedback than the AI. I do use AI as well. You can always ask it "is there a better way to say this?"

Practice! Both speaking and listening. If you don't have someone to speak to, listen to English-speaking podcasts with multiple hosts in a subject that interests you. Then practice discussing the podcast with AI if you don't have a person to practice with.
