Question. How would I approach this situation

[lonna_senpai]

My mom has a friend whose wife is Japanese. I have never met either of them but my mom gave my number to the father in law to give to the wife. She is new to American and doesn't really know anyone over here. Her English is good, I hear. But I'm 22 and she's in her forty's. I know I need to use polite speech but how do I bring up the subject of Japanese. Do I just bust out and introduce myself in Japanese? Do I talk in English and then mention I'm studying and wait for her to ask me to speak some? I just want to be polite as I can about the situation and I hope she might give me lessons. Thanks a lot for the help! I just really don't know what to do...

Maybe see if she'd be interested in a language exchange type thing. Just because her English is "good" doesn't mean that there aren't aspects of it that she'd like to improve.
