And when do you use them each respectively?
This has just been nagging at ,me for a while...

I have the vague idea that you're supposed to speak to someone and talk about someone else, but it's such a forgotten distinction these days that I don't even know.

To talk and to speak are to be used in different idioms. For example, you would generally "talk" to someone, and you would probably "speak" at a seminar, meeting, etc. I'm not sure if there are other idioms in which to use them, but they don't necessarily hold the same sort of tone.

Speaking is if you're talking to a group of people.
Talking is if you're talking to one person.
