Forgetting the 'A' (Preposition)

When a verb is in its basic, unconjugated form (the infinitive), the small words that tell you who receives the action (like 'me', 'te', 'lo') are usually attached directly to the end of the verb, forming a single word like 'hablarme'.

Infinitive + Pronoun Rule

If you use a conjugated verb (like 'quiero' - I want), the pronoun 'me' can be placed before the conjugated verb instead: 'Quiero hablarme' is the same as 'Me quiero hablar' (though the second is less common for this specific verb).

Alternative Placement

Remember the 'me' is the target of the speaking. If you want someone to speak to *you*, use 'hablarme'. If you want them to speak to *him*, use 'hablarle'.

Focus on the Action Receiver

Extremely common, used in basic daily communication to direct speech toward the speaker.
