I spoke with vs i just spoke with

Both phrases are correct, but there is a difference between them. 'I spoke with' is a simple statement indicating a past conversation, while 'I just spoke with' emphasizes the recentness of the conversation. The addition of 'just' in the second phrase adds a sense of immediacy.
