Speak 講、說話
Speak 主要有兩個常見用法。
第一，speak 加語言，意思係「講某種語言」。
例如：
I speak English.
/aɪ ˈspiːk ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ/
I SPEAK ENG-lish
我識講英文。
She speaks Chinese.
/ʃiː ˈspiːks ˌtʃaɪˈniːz/
She SPEAKS Chi-NESE
佢（女性）識講中文。
注意，第三身單數要加 s：
he speaks, she speaks。
第二，speak to 或者 speak with 加一個人，意思係「同某人講嘢」。呢個用法有時會比較尊敬、比較正式。
例如：
I need to speak to my teacher.
/aɪ ˈniːd tə ˈspiːk tə maɪ ˈtiːtʃə/
I NEED to SPEAK to my TEA-cher
我需要同我個老師講嘢。
I need to speak with my boss.
/aɪ ˈniːd tə ˈspiːk wɪð maɪ ˈbɒs/
I NEED to SPEAK with my BOSS
我需要同我個老闆講嘢。
我哋亦都可以講：
Please speak slowly.
/pliːz ˈspiːk ˈsləʊli/
Please SPEAK SLOW-ly
請講慢啲。
所以，大家可以咁樣記：
speak a language —— 講一種語言
speak to/with a person —— 同某人講嘢
speak slowly —— 講慢啲
