Either is grammatically correct.

The usual way to say this is, "I am looking forward to talking to you." However, some people think that, "I am looking forward to talking with you." is better when a social conversation is anticipated.

If the communication is linear, you use "to" in "talk to"

If the communication is transactional, you use "with."

It is correct to say "I am looking forward to meetingyou." (meeting you is a noun phrase, a gerund)

--

As in the sentence " We look forward to their visit.", the word "to" in this idiom is a preposition followed by a noun/ noun phrase. Therefore, just saying "meet" is a common mistake as it is in the form of a verb although it sounds plausible, as "to meet" is an infinitive form of the verb. However, it is then a whole new phrase, because it's no longer "look (forward) to (doing) s.t.", but just "look forward (and) to do s.t.", which isn't quite logically sound, as "to do s.t." part doesn't logically connect with the preceding verbial phrase as an object, but rather functions separately and incompletely from it at best as an independent adverbial phrase. As an adverbial phrase, the best interpretation that can be salvaged to spare the semantic integrity of the whole sentence is then "(in order) to do s.t.".

This would mean "I am looking forward (directly ahead) so that I will meet you."

This would be more properly stated, "I look forward to talking with you". Notice the "ing" ending on the verb "talk". And you probably want to have a conversation so you would be talking "with" the person, not "to" them (as if you would be doing all the talking).

"I look forward to speaking with you." is correct.

You could also say, "I am looking forward to speaking with you."

What I am 'looking forward to' is 'speaking with you'.

In other words: I look forward to the activity of 'speaking with you'.

Depending on what you are trying to say, they can both be correct.

"I am looking forward to speak to you" is correct if you intend to say that you are physically looking towards the person to speak to them.

"I am looking forward to speaking to you" is correct if you intend to say that you look forward to talking to the person in the future.

Is it correct wording when we say looking forward hearing you?

We normally say "looking forward hearing from you". It should have a preposition before the pronoun. It would be more proper to say "looking forward to hearing from you." This is called gerund, basically adding -ing to the verb, then followed by a preposition.

No. The expression "looking forward" takes the preposition "to." Also, instead of consideration, reply or positive reply will be more suitable in the sentence.
