I taught my students how to speak.
By definition, an indirect object is not preceded by "to." Indirect objects always come between the verb and the direct object, and often follow these verbs: give, bring, teach. This site has more examples.

Indirect objects:
I gave him a cup of coffee.
I taught my students.
The waitress brought us or salads.
If you have studied Latin, you'll find the same thing. Indirect objects are in the dative case and have no preposition.
Latin prepositions are used either with the accusative or the ablative case, depending on the meaning. (Usually any preposition implying movement toward something is followed by a noun or pronoun in the accusative case.)
