Being a native English speaker, here is what I can offer you. I hope it helps :) TALK TO vs TALK WITH - They really are interchangeable. They basically mean the same thing. The only difference I could see is that if you're "talking with" someone - it's more of a back and forth type conversation. If you're talking TO someone, it could be only you speaking and they're listening - like a parent scolding their child. With that said, they are still interchangeable. SPEAK TO and SPEAK WITH: These are also interchangeable and generally mean the same exact thing is talk to and talk with. The only difference is that "speak" is slightly more formal than "talk." So, if you were to address your boss, you would typically say "I would like to speak with you" as opposed to "I would like to talk to you" (which is something you would be more likely to say to a friend). Just know that : "Speak With" and "Talk To" are more commonly used than "talk with" or "speak to" (although they are all used). I am so sorry if I am confusing you with all of this. If you would like any clarification, please don't hesitate to write to me.

I agree with the other commenters. For example, on Tueday, the president of the United States spoke TO the members of Congress. He told them what he wanted. He did not speak WITH them. They just sat there and listened to him. They could not ask questions or make comments.

In My Opinion You Should Say - I need ''to Know'' the Differences Between Talk to n Talk With.... ''Talk To'' Usage - As a Question - Whom R you 'Talking to'? As a Statement - I'm 'Talking to' My Friend. Or, I want to 'Talk to' My Friend. ''Talk with'' Usage - as a Q. - Can i 'Talk With' My Friend ? as a S. - Yes, You can 'Talk With' your Friend. Speak to Usage = As a Q. - Can you 'Speak to' them not To make any Noise ? As a S. - I wish To Speak to My Doctor About It. Speak With Use = As a Q. - Can you Speak with him not to make any further Noise ? As a S. - I'll Speak with Him About It.

They are really all the same in most situations. A difference arises with some people who use "talk to" to mean that they will approach the person in a superior manner in order to correct or admonish rather than clarify. Some parents lecture their children by talking to them in this sense. Most English speakers talk to others or speak with others without this intent.
