Not likely. What are you going to talk to them about? The context is going to be xxx wants to learn a language and inherently unnatural... For learning French I started with Duolingo and once I got where I knew 100 words or so started going to FIAF to watch French movies and plays and eventually interacting with native speakers, both tourists and expats. Since we were all there for the same event there was a natural starting point for the conversation. This also has the advantage that there are people around that know enough English and French to give an assist in the case where we hit a limit to my/their knowledge of the other's language. There are a few more I would like to learn and suspect that a similar approach is going to be effective.
