Good idea, especially when combined with online learning (cousera, etc.)
A friend of mine in Germany used to meet up with an American studying abroad at his university for 2 hours a week. One hour they'd speak English, the other German.
I imagine it's not that uncommon.

Yeah, it's very common. But it's hard to find people outside your circle of friends who'd like to do it.
Check out http://www.liveninja.com if you both set your sessions for free, you can do this via video chat :)
