As you study Spanish more you will learn which verbs require a preposition after them and before the infinitive. The first one most people learn is ir + a + infinitive "to go to do something" for example, I'm going to speak Spanish becomes Voy a hablar español.
Watch for these little details in sentences. Many times (but not always) the equivalent preposition is used in both languages. This is true in the sentence above: "to" is a.
