The Magic Word: 'de'
To talk 'about' something, you must use the little word 'de' (or 'sobre') after 'hablar'. You can't just say 'Hablamos la película'.
Forgetting the Preposition
Mistake: “Hablo mi viaje a España.”
Correction: Hablo de mi viaje a España. You always need 'de' or 'sobre' to connect 'hablar' to the topic you're discussing.
