Speak(s)
Someone who refuses to speak in the same language as the person they are talking to, and instead speak in another language not known by the audience.
Should the second 'Speak' be 'speaks'? Something tells me the previous clause in the sentence means you can use 'speak' rather than 'speaks' but I could be wrong plz help.

You are right. It should read:
Someone who refuses to speak in the same language as the person they are talking to and instead speaks in another language not understood by the audience...
(This is an incomplete sentence and needs a main verb and predicate.)
