If you say “H-Shem” just like that, then you haven’t said any kind of a brocha because we use the term “H-Shem”, which literally means “The Name” to take the place of Adon-ai in order to not say it during common conversation. It’s not like it’s an English translation. However, during a brocha, if you say it, then you haven’t said the brocha. I wouild ask a Rov how to proceed with switching from English to Hebrew on that issue, but just for a focus, what don’t you try going 1 brocha at a time to learn what it means in loshon hakodesh and switch over to it, one every few days until you’re staying all of them in loshon hakodesh.
