Citizen Café Tel Aviv

I had had the opportunity to study at a few Ulpans and Private tutors over the years and honestly, Citizen Cafe is in a league of their own.
I love their teaching methods. Their Speak-Up class is "GENIUS" Their teachers know what is useful and you become familar with words you hear daily from the first class.
Both their regular and speakup class has built my confidence level to speak up "in Hebrew" when hanging with my friends or running errands.
By the way, I am only a little over a month in this course, and I have seen real results. My friends have seen it, and my only regret was not finding them sooner.
I happy the offer classes online and onsite to fit our individual needs.
I recommended a friend that had taken a beginner course elsewhere and I have seen his growth as well and he is very happy with the pace and class size.

I've been to several Ulpans and Citizen Cafe is the very best. The teaching method is varied and accomplishes a great deal very quickly. The teachers are uniformly excellent. They include informal and slang expressions in the course content which makes speaking outside of class more useful and more fun . They offer a number of class options in terms of class times and class levels so scheduling is always convenient. And they offer extra opportunities for connecting and practicing which is a terrific opportunity for new olim to meet others.

Citizen Cafe TLV is the language school which I was looking for. I am absolutely satisfied, and they really exceeded my expectations! They found their unique efficient method! It is perfectly balanced with oral practice, grammar knowledge, and cultural immersion aspects! The teaching quality is very high. It works for me perfectly well!

I tried a few other Ulpan before, this is by far the best! The classes are fun online and in person as well. We only learn words that real Israelis speak :)

Excellent teachers, great program, intelligent learning, caring staff, super students (international) : Citizen Cafe makes learning Hebrew fun! אבל עברית זה קשה מאוד! 👍

This is the best place to be if you want to have a great program with dedicated teachers who know how to use and explain this crazy language. The woman who made this program, Efrat, is not only fully dedicated but also really passionate about hebrew. They also do stuff about the Israeli culture, but I guess that’s something you have to dive into instead of being taught. I highly recommend this company.

Absolutely loved my time at Citizen Cafe. My Hebrew increased several levels, and the teachers are really good. Best ulpan I've been to. Highly recommend. Plus its pretty fun.

I've taken several Ulpans and can confidently say that Citizen Cafe is the most effective program I've experienced. The instructors maintain the perfect balance of being so much fun and professional at the same time. They emphasize speaking like a real Israeli--not like your Saba from the 1950s. I wish I could give them six stars!

After arriving in Israel for a year-long university programme in Tel Aviv, I told a friend I wanted to learn some Hebrew to make life easier and more enjoyable. Without hesitation, she referred me to Citizen Cafe TLV. After inquiring and sorting out schedule problems, I began my Hebrew learning experience with Citizen Cafe. As I now approach the end of my 4th course with them over the past 5 months, I highly recommend it. Classes are very interactive and keep you on your toes from beginning to end making it very engaging.
As a student of 2 other foreign languages and an occasional instructor of one, I find the method very conducive to developing the "Hebrew intuition" to thrive in real life situations. The approach also facilitates your immersion into the local culture with many opportunities to discuss with classmates and teachers your experiences in Israel and...

Amazing teachers and ingenious pedagogy -- the instructors keep the classes upbeat and energetic and rewarding. Hah, I sound like I'm describing an exercise class, but really, Citizen Cafe feels like the language-learning equivalent of having a personal trainer who makes going to the gym feel fun and motivating. It's unlike any language class I've had. I'm in my 3rd semester now, and the instructors make it easy to look forward to the fun classes (in person or on zoom), with classmates who I've gotten to know and a style of teaching that combines precision and humor. In my regular life, I'm a university professor and my work includes the study of language learning and so aside from enjoying the light-hearted easy-going feel to the classes, I'm very much impressed by the approach Citizen Cafe takes -- the gradual (but persistent!) build-up to Hebrew immersion and the emphasis on...
