shaberu - hanasu: Hi all, I've been wondering if someone might explain to me what is the difference between [b]shaberu[/b] and [b]hanasu[/b]. So far it seems to me that [b]shaberu[/b] is being used more often when it comes to the way of speech (too fast, weird etc.), but my dictionary doesn't seem to make this clear.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe there are other nuances that I'm not aware of, but to me, [b]shaberu[/b] means "to chat" and [b]hanasu[/b] means "to speak," keeping pretty much the same applications as in English.
