It seems that I have three verbs in my sentence. Are must
and let
verbs? Must
turns to to have
in its verb form, but let
?
It is
Du musst mich sprechen lassen.
The verbs don't change, they are the direct translations.
Also read the comments, they may be important.

How do you know the required style? Siezen and Duzen can both be correct, depending on the situation and styling of address. – Toscho Feb 27 '13 at 17:41

4I have never in the 46 years of my life heard anyone say "Du musst mich sprechen lassen". The only contexts, where it might make sense, is for an actor to say: "Du musst mich (vor)sprechen lassen." or for someone to tell the warden in a jail: "Du musst mich mit ihm reden lassen." In all other situations something like "Ich möchte jetzt etwas sagen." or "Lass mich auch mal was sagen." would be much more common. – user1914 Mar 4 '13 at 9:39

1I have to agree with what @what said. Du musst mich sprechen lassen doesn't really sounds genuine to me. We don't have any context but I would say that he actually is looking for "Du musst mich ausreden lassen" – Emanuel Mar 5 '13 at 11:48
I find this formulation much beter:
Lass mich ausreden! Lassen Sie mich ausreden!
Du musst mich ausreden lassen! Sie müssen mich ausreden lassen!

Wir haben keinen Kontext, aber ich dachte auch zuerst and "ausreden"... – Emanuel Mar 5 '13 at 11:49

Going by some of OP's other Questions, his grasp of English seems to be a bit shaky. Maybe OP wanted to ask for German translation of "Let me finish!" In that case, Brian's first choice, "Lass mich (or: Lassen Sie mich) ausreden!" would be very good. – Eugene Seidel Mar 5 '13 at 12:59
Must
is verb form - isn't it? What else? – user unknown Mar 1 '13 at 2:12
