Find a word related to S P E A K

The idea is to find an English word (synonym –- antonym -- phrase or idiom ) related to the word S P E A K (verbo)

and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word. (not Speak)

Examples:

There were no customers to speak of.

Apenas había clientes.

Pictures would be nice.

Mariana has kindly agreed to be the “official” corrector of the Spanish.

I think I can manage being the “unofficial” corrector for the English, je je

This was the last challenge
