What math and English you start with will depend on what you have already had (including any AP classes), what you've tested out of and what sort of degree you are pursuing. Liberal arts majors may be able to take logic in lieu of math. Most people start with a basic English 101, which is usually a a basic composition class. But these days, most schools give lots of options for fulfilling basic requirements. Some classes require the occasional presentation, but depending on the size of your classes, that may not be possible.
Remember that college is only partly about the classes you take. It's also about spreading your wings, partying, getting really involved in a club or activity, and developing social and life skills. It's about taking classes just because you hear the professor was really good, and taking the occasional road trip on a weekend. It's about staying up all night with your roommate(s) talking about politics or love or just life.

There's a basic english course which is usually a composition course. The math typically starts at Calculus.
That's only six credits (if the average is three) of a basic 130 credit college career. You'll have more focused courses the longer you're in it.
There's usually one or two speech courses, one general, and one in your major.
College is basically you and not the teacher which is something to get used to. Freshmen really screw up when they are used to depending on the teacher to push them through the courses. In college, there's no state requirement for teaching, only a requirement for knowing, thus they can have no skills for teaching. Ultimately it becomes you and only you to learn about yourself and your learning style. You have to learn how to use the notes taken and segements from the textbook to achieve what it will take on the exams and papers.
Trust me, college math is way tough because it's up to you to figure it out completely and it does get tougher from here on.

You start with College Math and English I (one).
If you did well in highschool, you'll be fine on both. If you are not, there are preparatory classes for both math and English, but they won't count as your credit hours required for graduation. Those prep-classes prepares you to take college level classes.
Yes, speech class (called oral communications) is often required for your degree. In this class, you prepare speeches, give it, and do presentations.
By the way, in college, you study like crazy if you want to pass your classes with good grades. Unlike high schools, if you have questions or don't understand the subject, you make an appointment with your professor and visit him/her in his/her office. Unless you make initiatives, they will be happy to leave you behind. Basically, you are treated as an adult. You want it, you go get it. If not, no body will come and shove your behind.
