Maybe I will speak to her vs Maybe I would speak to her

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'Maybe I will speak to her' implies a higher likelihood of speaking to her compared to 'Maybe I would speak to her,' which suggests a more hypothetical or uncertain scenario. The choice between 'will' and 'would' depends on the level of certainty or possibility you want to express.
