Is that a question?  If so, is it rhetorical?

We speak French.  We TALK turkey.

Depends what the poster meant.  One can "talk German" in any language, just as one
can talk politics or food in any language.  Presumably, if the poster meant "speak
German", s/he would've spoken German and not English.
