Notes
GENERAL INFO
Parler is a regular -ER verb meaning "to speak" or "to talk." It's one of the most fundamental verbs in French.
USAGE
It's commonly used for languages ("parler français"). You use "parler à quelqu'un" to mean "to talk to someone" and "parler de quelque chose" for "to talk about something."
TRAPS
Don't confuse parler (to speak/talk) with "dire" (to say/tell).
Also, remember to omit "de" when directly stating you speak a language: "Je parle français" (not "Je parle du français" nor "Je parle le français").
