Can I use "koto" like this.
I have some difficulties to translate this sentence in Japanese. Is my translation correct?

It will allow me to get acquainted and to improve my Japanese speaking.
それがわたしにかのうせいをことはにほんごではかどることとあなたにあえることさずける。
the complete sentence was : "It's really great that you are coming to Paris. It will allow me to get acquainted and to improve my Japanese speaking. : )"
So it = the fact that my japanese penpal is coming to france.

（だってお互いにもっとよく知り合えますし、私の日本語会話も上達しますから。）
Hope you wouldn't mind that I arranged it a little to form a natural sentence and didn't stick to using "koto" here.  Have a nice time with your pen pal!

Answer

Could you give us more information on the sentence?  Because it seems a little vague.
1. What is "it" actually?
2. What does "it" allow you to get acquainted with? With Japanese speaking, is that what you mean?
