i want debian to tell me the time at certain times. for example

I second the suggestions of at and cron.
If you want a one-off reminder, use at.
If you want a regular reminder use cron. Cron has a lot of flexibility in
its scheduling.
For the actual saying of the time, you could use the saytime package.
I've not used it in many, many years, but I see that it's still in Debian
and it uses sox so it should still work.
