speech / talk
'die Rede' and 'die Präsentation' can both be a form of speaking in front of an audience. A 'Rede' is mainly oral and often fits official, ceremonial, or personal situations. A 'Präsentation' is usually more focused on information, ideas, or a product and is often supported by images, slides, or a file. The words can be confused because in both cases you speak in front of other people. When the spoken words are the main focus, 'Rede' fits better. When slides, data, or a topic being presented are important, 'Präsentation' sounds more natural.
Du zeigst morgen im Büro deine Präsentation zum neuen Projekt.
