I do this with my Uncle and a couple of Japanese friends all the time. Even through email. I will write in Japanese, then I wll also write the same thing in English giving them a sense of what I was saying. They will correct mine and do the same thing but in Englih with Japanese explanation

As far as my experieince goes, people really appreciate foreigners who try to learn their culture and language
correcting is always good too,and often i get corrected in japanese sometimes in english. as long as the friendship is a geniune and not just basic on using the other for language practice only. sometimes people just want to be friends just to practice the language some because your foreigner but every case isnt the same tho. there are who want to be friends basic off of interests but whatever case thats life.
