The academic year, semester, and summer programs provide approximately twenty hours per week of in-class instruction in Russian grammar, phonetics, conversation, and cultural studies.. One day per week of the academic program is set aside for local cultural excursions.
Students may live with Russian host families or in a hotel. During the semester, students may participate in unpaid, non-credit bearing internships and volunteer service at local public schools, charities, and international businesses, depending on language level and interests. Students are also offered the chance to meet for 10 hours per week with Russian teachers for private classes.
During the academic year (September through May), participants may audit regular host university classes in addition to their Russian courses if schedules permits. Academic year students may choose to conduct independent research during the spring semester.
Business Russian Language and Internship Program
Leo Tolstoy Institute Business Russian Language and Internship Program combines a specially designed curriculum focusing on the language of Russian business with an internship averaging ten to fifteen hours per week at a multinational company, business, or non-governmental organization agency in Russia. You may apply to study for a semester, academic year, or summer. Business Russian Language and Internship Program has highly individualized curriculum that can be tailored to serve students ranging from intermediate to near native speakers of Russian; however, less advanced students should consider whether their language proficiency will enable them to engage in substantive internships and benefit from instruction in the style and lexicon of business speech. (Students lacking a strong command of Russian grammar, for example, should consider enrolling in General Russian Language Course before applying to the Business Russian Language and Internship Program) A full-time program director provides ongoing logistical support and emergency assistance to participants. Peer tutoring, Russian discussion clubs, and a broad range of extra-curricular activities provide unique opportunities for Business Russian Language and Internship Program students to connect with Russian friends and immerse themselves in daily Russian life.

ACCOMODATION OVERVIEW
The choice of the right type of accommodation is an important decision as students typically spend more time at home than in the classroom.
We understand that people have different needs and interests. For this reason we offer several accommodation options enabling each student to choose the most appropriate type.
Home-stay (host family) accommodation: providing the best opportunity to get to know the Russian way of life and offering the best possible language practice. Home-stay is available with breakfast only or half board or full board.
Shared flats offer an independent lifestyle at very affordable prices. This is a popular option for young people and institute students. Shared flats are self catering.
Studio apartments offer higher standards than shared flats and guarantee full privacy and independence. Studios are on request only. Our accommodation officer will help to find an appropriate apartment.
Hotels of all categories can be booked directly with the institute. While hotel rates in Moscow are quite high year round, we can offer some options with reasonable prize particularly in the mini-hotel sector. Hotels can also be booked without a language course. This is not possible for other accommodation options.
All accommodation offered by the institute has been inspected by a member of staff. It is our accommodation officer’s job to make sure that all our students choose the option, which fits them best.
Some students prefer to stay with friends or would like to organize their own accommodation, which is fine. In that case however, we cannot provide arrival transfers.
