lol I don't know how to say "to speak"
One day I will speak German, hopefully fluently. For now I can make out basic sentences if I read them or someone says them very slowly.
My favorite thing to say....hmmm...it's a toss up between "ich liebe dich so sehr, Meister" and "ich bin deine Schlampe"
It's a little bit more complicated in German.
You can say, "Ich will Deutsch verstehen", meaning to understand it when someone is talking to you. Or you can say, "Ich möchte Deutsch sprechen können", meaning, I want to be able to talk German. German sentences are usually more complicated than english ones, but since we share a common linguistic ancestor, many words have the same roots. Only the synthax is different on many occasions.
You see, "sprechen", "speak" are not that different if you think about it. When I started to learn english, I concentrated on the similarities, which are many. Some words are virtually the same like "bed","Bett".
And you know, you've chosen one of the meanest and most vulgar words when using "Schlampe" for a woman? It's german german. We don't use it.
