Whom do you talk to? (Although it is less natural than Whom are you talking to?)
This has been corrected to: "To whom are you speaking?", "To whom are you talking?" "Who are you speaking to?" "Who are you talking to?"
Am I the only one who normally says " I was talking with my friend" ? I know there is a book entitled " I must be talking with my friends", but maybe that is poetic license.
That translates to "Με ποιον μιλάς;", not "Σε ποιον μιλάς;"
Εven though the difference is very small, it's there. In the first case, it's implied that there is some sort of response or conversation between two speakers, while the second one doesn't imply a thing. You might be talking to someone without them even listening to you.

To whom do you talk. This is correct English grammar. A sentence should never end with a preposition.
I was taught the same thing in school but in university, I learned that there is no such rule.
The internet is full of citations here are just a few.

There is a great deal of evidence on the internet. And while we're about it there is also no rule about beginning a sentence with a conjunction.
Lol, seems like Portuguese ones claiming "Oblique Pronoun never go before the verb" and bla bla bla. Here in Brasil we speak like this and that's it. Grammar doesn't rule a language. People do !
