Grammar
SPEAK TO SOMEONE = MEAN SOMETHING TO SOMEONE
Can you say both of these? Do they mean the same thing?
- That doesn't mean anything to me. It's like you were speaking chinese.
- That doesn't speak to me/doesn't mean anything to me. I've never been to this city before. How would I know that street.
Thank you

Saying "that doesn't speak to me" is pretty abstract and isn't used in everyday English, if at all. The first one makes sense. The second one should be "That doesn't mean anything to me, I've never been to this city before.
