An intransitive verb has no object:

Some verbs can be transitive or intransitive, depending on the
sentence:
I’m studying English (transitive).I don’t have time to study.
(intransitive)

**Talk English
We say “speak English,” not “talk English” because talk is an intransitive
verb and it doesn’t have an object.

You can say:
The baby is learning to talk.She’s talking too loud.
I need to talk to the boss.(A prepositional phrase is not an object for
the verb.)

“Speak” can be transitive or intransitive.
I can speak Chinese (transitive).Please don’t speak to me
(intransitive).

speak (intransitive) = talk
Speak to me = Talk to meDon’t speak so loud = Don’t talk so
loud.

However, if there is an object, you have to use “speak” and not
“talk” because can only be intransitive and speak can be
transitive:I’m learning to speak English.
I can’t speak Chinese.
