You can craft a speak to animals potion. I learned mine in act one but i saw another streamer only learn his in act 3, i believe it was after reading a book? You can learn recipes by picking up ingredients too though so i may have gathered things that were key to the potion perhaps. I would always buy the alchemy ingredients from merchants to increase my chances to learn new things so maybe that triggered extra things.

Half the classes have access to it, and you happen to have a group of 4 chars.

Depending on the class of your char, you can learn speaking to animals from a scroll. Druids and Rangers can get the ability very early in the game.

There's an item that can be found in Act I that'll grant Speak to Animals (must be activated after a long rests). Occupies an important equipment slot that could be useful other ways, though.

Buy the raw materials (Acorn Truffle), they are commonly available at especially Act 1 merchants. Then you can craft your own Speak with Animals potions (you even automatically learn it when you refine the truffle into essence), as long as you also have any kind of salt.

Edit: I've also found a lot of those potions, so far (beginning act 2) had to rarely craft any of them.

Another option: at level four have someone take the ritual caster feat for speak with animals and another spell.

Longstrider is good if you don't have it, speak with dead can be fun, there are options.

I'm still at very beginning I was hoping some tricks could allow speak to animals, but it seems very limited, potion but I have yet to see one in a shop, or spell which is short.

Ok multiple classes can obtain the spell but still.

Just asking in case there's a trick, I let the game create my MC (the UI is totally weird, I was waiting edit of the character and poof it was created) and got a Barbarian, and then noticed that if I pick the subclass Wildheart at level 3 I'll have the spell but that is limiting choices.

"Limiting choices"...

Is it really so hard to get one of the classes, that can speak with animals?

1. You aren't forced to speak to animals and can finish quests and the game just fine without it.
2. A lot of classes and subclasses have it. If you refuse to squeeze in one of those into the group, it's you yourself limiting your choinces, not the game. you can talk with any character in the group. It doesn't have to be your MC.

Potion, scroll, spell, medallion also gives your this ability.
Barbarian also get this cantrip early, so you can simply play barbarian or recruit Karlach in your team. There are many solutions as you can see.

[Theobald]

You should have started by stating that you simply wanted every class-specific options in one walkthrough, and we would have told you it's stupid.

[LordAnubis]

Arron in Druid Grove sells potions of animal speaking.

[LinkToReality.ttv]

For the record the potion and the spell both had a duration until next Long Rest, so unless you're long resting much more often than you need you should be able to have the effect up nearly 100% of the time, as long as you buy some pots or scrolls when you see them, alternatively Acorn Truffles to make your own pots.

[Wedge]

Elixirs and potions are op buy mats you can keep speak with animals on someone with pots permanently.

What the actual ♥♥♥♥?

[Simbolic]

It's pretty useless only really need it to talk to the dog with the dead master, owlbear cub and the strange ox. Tbh all the animals are serious ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, most are hateful and rude. Not missing much especially if you like animals irl cuz in this game you will grow to hate them.
