Perhaps you intended to say "How does this site work? I want to find an English teacher/ instructor/ language exchange partner" "Informant" is a person who shares their knowledge, so I assume one of the above terms would be a better substitute. You can go to the following link to get started. It includes a list of Native English speakers who are wanting to learn Russian. You can do a language exchange. http://www.italki.com/partners/1-Russian-English--200-0--0-1.htm Happy Language Learning! :)
