I believe the answer is:

pronunciation

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'how we speak' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'arranging pact or in union' is the wordplay.
'arranging' indicates an anagram.
'pact'+'or'+'in'+'union'='pactorinunion'
'pactorinunion' is an anagram of 'PRONUNCIATION'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pronunciation that I've seen before include "Delivery" , "Articulation" , "Way a word is sounded" .)
