This is because, in terms of what I said before, hablar is the infinitive, in English "to talk/speak". If you want to say I speak, you just need the first person singular verb part. This is because the verb conjugates, and the endings are different depending on which "person" you mean, and whether that "person" is "singular" or "plural".
So, to conjugate the verb hablar:
hablo (1st person singular)
hablas (2nd person singular)
habla (3rd person singular)
hablamos (1st person plural)
hablais (2nd person plural)
hablan (3rd person plural)

I have been surfin the Internet and came across a website that gives the
100 most often used verbs in Spanish and this got me thinking, so - is this correct using Janet's example?
English verb - Buy Spanish Verb - Comprar
Compro - I buy
Compras - You buy
Compra - They buy
Compramos - He/She/It buys
Comprais - You (all) buy
Compran - They all buy
And if so, are the conjugated endings of every verb the same?
