Great, but he said ''talking with'' instead of ''talking to'' (3:07). Tiny mistake, but this is an English lesson! The video is good.

I really understood what you explained about the phrase of ' speak to '. When you say ' I need to speak to you about something.', it sounds serious. I really have remembered its feeling through my experience.
And you explained: The word of 'talk' in the sentence of like 'I have to talk to you about something.' is a more general conversation.
Ahh....lol In Japanese language, both 'talk to' and 'speak to' are 'hanasu'...One Swedish told me ' I need to speak to you about something.' in Japanese language. But, I didn't catch the serious feeling at the time. I understand it so deeply right now.

To understand connotation is also important. I expect you more explanations of 'connotations'.

In addition to that, regarding ' speak to', there is a matter that is 'speak with' or 'speak to'.
To speak to someone is a one-way communication. To speak with someone is to have a dialogue.

There is significant overlap here.
In connotation, someone who wants to talk or speak "to" you is in need of getting information across to the other party.
Taking "with" someone is more collaborative.
But, many native speakers use "to" in all these contexts.

For example, in telephone calls, we can say: 'Hello, could I speak to Mr.English, please?'
Why do we always use 'speak to' for making a call?

I think, there is something to talk within caller's mind before making a call. So, we say 'speak to'.
Because someone who wants to talk or speak "to" you is in need of getting information across to the other party.
However, we think 'we are speaking with someone.' during talking. Therefore, it's called as 'overlap'.

Some natives teach like this: 'How to speak WITH someone?', 'Hello, I would like to speak TO Mr.English, please?'
But, in many cases, there are not explanations of a kind of connotation.

I really understood significant sense.
