“Can you talk after getting dentures?”
I will get a partial denture made next week. I want to know if you can talk after getting dentures?

If your partial denture covers the palate (roof of your mouth), it can affect your speech. Some sounds can be altered by the distance between the upper teeth and the lower teeth & tongue. Your dentist may be able to suggest exercises to help pronounce "F", "V", "S" sounds. I tell my patients to sing in the shower (although when I tried that, it made my wife cry).
Yes, you can talk after getting your denture. It takes 30 days for your speech to completely go back to normal. Keep practicing. The more you wear your denture and practice, quicker you'll get used to it. After one week, if you feel it's loose or feel any pain anywhere, you can visit your dentist, and they might be able to do adjustments.

Yes, you can but is your choice.
Yes, you should be able to talk normally if the denture is made properly.
