'Talk in English' is not correct English. The correct way of saying this is 'Speak in English' which by the way is accepted
"Speak English" is the most natural way to say this. Why is it not accepted (June 2021)?
It would work. But they are not the same.
"अँग्रेज़ी में बोलो" would mean "Say/Speak in English" depending on context. While "अँग्रेज़ी में बात करो" means "Converse in English".
If it's a conversation then you need to use "बात करो" to ask of him to converse in English. And if it's just him speaking about something then "में बोलो" is fine.
Is there a difference in meaning between बात करो and बालना? Is it similar to "talk" and "speak" in english where the meaning is basically the same but they geel more natural in different situations?
