I've been having a little trouble lately.
I joined a group class on an app a few days ago. In the class, I chatted with different people in English.
And I found that sometimes I spoke out A word when I actually wanted to say B word, and I didn’t notice that until I left the class.
It’s so annoying.
I want to avoid that.
最近遇到了一点烦心事。
几天前我在一个app上参加了一个小组课。在课堂上,我用英语和不同的人聊天。
我发现有时候我说的是A词,但其实我想说B词,而且直到我离开教室才注意到。
这可太烦人了。
我想避免!
I've been having a little trouble lately.
MY GUESS: I joined a group English class on an app a few days ago.
ALSO POSSIBLE: I took a group English class via an app several days ago.
In the class, I chatted with different people in English.
And I found that sometimes I mistakenly spoke out Ane word, when I actually wanted to say Ba different word, and I didn’t notice thatis until I left the class was over.
It’ was so annoying.

Mistakes are a natural part of the learning process. Be gentle with yourself, Tammy.
And I found that sometimes I spoke out A word when I actually wanted to say B word, andbut I didn’t notice that until I left the class.
Yours is OK, but two quick things would make it more natural:
* Normally we say "Word A" (etc) instead of "A Word" → I'm not sure why, unfortunately... normally the descriptor goes in front of the noun, just like you did
* "Speak out" is a phrasal verb that means something more like 發生/直言反對; it means to raise your voice, particularly in opposition of something that you disagree with. Here, you could say: "accidentally say" (seems a bit softer) or "blurt out" (it has more of a connotation that you are supposed to be quiet and end up saying something, but I think it's OK here, too!)
Also, you could optionally say "would say/wouldn't notice" instead of "spoke out/didn't notice". The difference is just that "would" makes it seem more habitual, like something that happened several times, and not necessarily on one specific occasion.
I want to avoid that.
I don't think "avoid" works perfectly here because "avoid" means to consciously not do something or intentionally take steps to prevent something from happening (The subways are packed during rush hour, so avoid commuting from 7–8 AM if possible; she took a detour to avoid the heavy traffic)
I can't think of a word to replace "avoid", though 🫠 maybe something like "I'll try to be more careful in the future."

Almost perfect! Nice job.

I can relate to this for learning German.

This is more of a stylistic feedback, so you’ll probably receive various ideas on how to convey this.
What you had was clear. My correction is what I’m accustomed to hearing in the northeast USA.
You could also say, “…sometimes I said X when I meant to say Y…”
Using x/y “variables” as placeholders is a bit more common in my experience.

This happens to me in the language I’m learning, too! It’s hard to keep everything straight when there are words that look or sound similar.

"a few different people" feels a bit more natural here.
