You shouldn't learn "gawędziliśmy" i "pogawędziliśmy" to use, just to understand. Rozmawialiśmy/porozmawialiśmy could be always used instead.

Gawędziliśmy is more literary and informal. It's about every-day things or memories, nothing too serious. Also a bit longer.

gawędziliśmy = we chatted
porozmawialiśmy = we talked

"Gawędziliśmy" always reminds me of two old mans chatting on a bench :P People don't usually use it, it's kinda old word.
