Dear friend,
When just one person does all or most of the talking, either speak or talk may be used:
He spoke/talked about his years in the army.
When two and more people have a conversation, the usual word is talk (NOT speak):
We must have been talking for hours.
If someone brings me a problem, we just sit down
