Post 2

Our first conversation took place! It was difficult, but we managed. Thanks to our conversation partner, Vibhav!

 

Every dictionary tells use that a собеседник is an "interlocutor".  However, in real life, you almost never use, hear, or read the word "interlocutor".  You might use the word "interlocutor" in very scholarly speech, or in formal literature.

 

Examples of natural English:  "I'm looking for a chat partner".  "I'd like to have a conversation partner."  "I'm looking for someone to talk with."  It is not natural to say, "I'm looking for an interlocutor."
