talk with vs talk to

Both 'talk with' and 'talk to' are commonly used in English, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Talk with' implies a more conversational and interactive exchange, while 'talk to' can be more directive or one-sided. Both are correct, so the choice depends on the nuance you want to convey.
