Best Answer

To speak to you is correct although to speak with you would be perfectly understood.

To speak with you suggests a two-way conversation compared to speak to you which implies one-way traffic.

Depending where the speaker is located, both could be correct

You speak to someone when you're giving them advice, information or asking them for it (think of it more as a monologue). You speak with someone when you're engaging in a conversation with them (more of a dialogue). Examples: Doctor to Mother, "Make sure you speak to your baby very frequently" Subordinate to Boss, "I need to speak to you about my performance and use your advice" The lecturer spoke to the audience about her theories. ... The alarm went off as I was speaking with Bill. Do you speak with your sister or are you still in disagreement? I hope this helped.

Both are correct. I spoke with you would imply a personal conversation in the past

( i.e. "Remember? I spoke with you about those invoices in last week's staff meeting. ) I Spoke to you implied a one-to-many address (i.e. a radio broadcast such as "When I last spoke to you, my political enemies had the upper hand but

today I speak of freedom for all" )
