We can speak, but can our insectoid overlords understand our speech

Probably, if they hang around us and study us that often

If we are separated from our parents shortly after birth, and grow up in isolation from other humans - then we would not learn to talk anyway. Note that that's what happens with most pets that humans keep. Maybe we get to walk past some other humans in the park a couple of times a week, but that's it.

They just like the male's milky secretion's taste, the annoying meat flapping noises and whistles, not so much.
