The 'Yo' (I) Form

'Hablo' is how you say 'I speak' or 'I talk'. In Spanish, verbs change their ending for each person. That '-o' ending is your signal for 'I'.

Leaving Out 'Yo'

Because the '-o' ending on 'hablo' already means 'I', you can often leave out the word 'yo' (I). Saying 'Hablo español' sounds more natural than 'Yo hablo español'.

Mixing up 'I speak' and 'He/She speaks'

Mistake:Mi amigo hablo español.

Correction: Mi amigo habla español. Remember, the '-o' ending is only for 'I'. For 'he', 'she', or 'you (formal)', the verb ends in '-a'.
