Citizen Café Tel Aviv

Embark on an incredible language journey with Citizen Cafe's Hebrew course! As I enter my third year, I can confidently say this experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. Their unique teaching method emphasizes repetition and extensive practice, enabling me to grasp the language with remarkable efficiency.

What sets this course apart is the engaging practice groups offered. These sessions are the key to unlocking a deeper understanding of Hebrew as you progress through the levels.

I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone eager to learn Hebrew, no matter their motivations. While the initial cost might raise an eyebrow, the breakdown of the price, coupled with the invaluable benefits and practice sessions, makes it an affordable and rewarding investment.

The selection of native Israeli teachers and support staff is truly...

Amazing courses. All the staff and teacher are absolutely sweet and lovely. Highly raccomended!

I started learning Hebrew with Citizen Cafe about 1 year and a half ago. I came as a completely blank slate and I can now hold a full conversation in Hebrew. The teachers are amazing and very involved and the lessons are super interactive. There’s never a dull moment. I met an amazing community here and made some friends for life. איזה מזל שמצאתי את סיטיזן!

I can’t say enough about the value of the Citizen Cafe experience. Their teachers are terrific: fun, patient, and knowledgeable. Their techniques are very effective: speaking, speaking and more speaking (using zoom to allow everyone to constantly speak on mute even when you are not the student called on), learning new concepts and vocabulary and building on it in a logical way every lesson. But what is truly unique about Citizen Cafe is the community they have built. You make friends from around the world in every class, as well as in the free practice sessions you can drop into several times a week. If you want to learn Hebrew the way Israelis speak it on the street, in a fun and supportive setting and meet great people in the process, this is the place!!!

I have studied hebrew at universities and Ulpans, but Citizen Cafe's technique is so much more effective and different than traditional methods of teaching hebrew. It focuses on speaking comfortably and fluently, learning how Israelis speak day to day, instead of studying verb conjugations and memorizing vocabulary. And the teachers are all wonderful, engaging, and fun.

I have been studying at Citizens Cafe TLV for about 2-1/2 years. I was looking for a fresh approach from the traditional Ulpan method. I have had amazing teachers, and my proficiency and comfort with Hebrew has improved a great deal. Zoom classes are surprisingly engaging, the teachers are inspiring, as are my classmates.

The teachers make the most of every moment. There is a lot of interaction, speaking and engagement. The curriculum is well planned and calculated. There are clear goals and one feels the progression and the building of knowledge, vocabulary and skills with each class.

I just started a new semester and am enjoying it tremendously. If you really want to learn Hebrew and have fun, and get over your shyness about speaking, I highly recommend Citizens Cafe TLV!

I have taken two courses at Citizen Cafe' so far, after trying 3 other Hebrew language schools in Tel Aviv and Netanya, and this is by far the best way to learn with an innovative method and with fun teachers who are absolutely proactive and supportive. They offer the quickest way to learn Hebrew, with great focus on conversation/oral practice. Thank you Citizen Cafe' Tel Aviv!

I’m in my second virtual semester at Citizen Café and I’m having so much fun learning Hebrew and making new friends. My teacher, Rom, is the best and the method works. I’m learning to speak, read, and write Hebrew and I really look forward to my classes and practice sessions.

After two years of regular Zoom classes with Citizen Cafe, I can say that it's the most exciting, fun, convenient, and fast way to get from "getting cold feet when you hear someone addressing you in Hebrew "(two years of self-learning with the textbook didn't get me far 😅) to being able to express yourself, understand the conversation around you and even get a surprised "opaaaa" from locals, who didn't expect a foreigner to know all that tricky Hebrew slang 😀

Absolutely in love with this course and all the teachers: no boring textbooks, everything is live and always fun, and a lot of talking in the class and practice group. You get a reasonable amount of homework, enough to review all the material, but it doesn't take an eternity to do it; you learn things you can use daily... (and the list can go on an on and on :))

Besides that, the...

My Hebrew journey with Citizen Cafe began in March 2022, and I was literally speaking Hebrew in the first lesson of my first class! I'm now in my 6th semester, and I can't believe how much more confidence I have.
Simply put, Citizen Cafe has given me so much more than I ever got from other Hebrew classes and schools. The method is the "secret sauce". Small classes lead by world-class CCTLV trained teachers, who are really invested in our success. We're not conjugating lists of verbs or memorizing vocabulary; we are using the conjugations and vocabulary in real time in class, talking to each other, asking and answering questions. This is real learning: getting the words from our ears to our mouths. In addition to world-class teachers, there's a highly supportive leadership community that goes above and beyond to listen, assist, and accommodate us wherever...

Having studied five languages, I can quite simply say that this is the best program I have ever encountered.

Absolutely great learning platform. It is so much fun in classes. I have never learnt a new language so well and so fast. I really enjoy classes. Great teachers. Great community. I can only recommend Citizen Cafe.

Citizen Cafe is a wonderful way to learn Hebrew. I love the classes, the teachers have all been amazing and my Hebrew keeps improving!!

I can not say enough good things about my Hebrew learning experience at Citizen Café Tel Aviv. I started my journey in the Fall of 2020 when I signed up for my first online Hebrew course (Orange Level). I was not sure what to expect and, to be frank, I was a bit apprehensive. Today I continue to learn with Citizen Café and enjoy every minute of it (Indigo Level).
The teachers are all wonderful! Enthusiastic, supportive, patient, funny...The system is very intuitive and based on natural language learning. The emphasis is on understanding AND speaking day-to-day Hebrew not on dry grammar and senseless repetition.
Thanks to Citizen Café I am now able to understand podcasts, TV shows, music, and real Israeli-to-Israeli conversations. In other words, my new Hebrew language skills allow me to connect to Israeli culture like I dreamed.
THANK YOU Citizen Cafe!

After spending years trying to learn Hebrew by myself and not really getting anywhere, I finally took the plunge and joined Citizen. I've learned far more in 3 courses than I have in the last 6 years by myself.
Their method was very different and it's a LOT of speaking, but that's exactly what's needed for day to day life in Israel. It's improved my confidence massively.
I've had amazing teachers that have been super supportive, thank you Yasmin, Dani and Vanessa!
Looking forward to my next semester 😊

Best place to learn Hebrew 💪🏻💪🏻.

Citizen Cafe is the best! The teachers are amazing, the method is super effective, and each class is so fun! Really grateful to this community!

Amazing experience! Truly great teachers. Highly recommend this to anyone wanting to learn Hebrew. From first-time beginners, to those with a knowledge of the language already. 🙌

This is the best language learning experience in the world. My Hebrew level jumped from beginner to conversational in a very short space of time. The teachers and community are incredible.

Excellent study method. Finally a way to learn Hebrew in which the words stick to your brain 😅. The teachers are amazing and the possibilities to practice many times a week are a super plus!! Thank you citizen cafe!!

Hebrew School was NEVER like this. CitizenCafe lessons are fast-paced,  fun and even funny.

After trying many Hebrew language programs, I''m learning Hebrew instead of learning about Hebrew! Tuition covers 3 hours of class-time per week, up to 8 hours of teacher-supervised practice per week, and access to recordings and notes. A good dollar value. I'm thrilled that I found Citizen Cafe.

Citizen Café is an amazing community. I set out to learn more Hebrew and become better at speaking but I gained soo much more! The online courses are super engaging and fun and you actually speak the entire time. My level has gone up increasingly. Im meeting people from all over the world as well from all walks of life but with one common goal, learning Hebrew.

I truly wish this was in existence when I made Aliyah!! While I've tested out of the Ulpan system (thanks to having Hebrew kicked into me during my IDF service) I've been lacking the professional, slang, and practical vocabulary that I've wanted. Enter Citizen Café Tel Aviv! Their program breaks Hebrew down to 11 different levels, focuses on rapidly learning speech (so there's no time to translate in your head, making sure that you actually learn, deeply, the language) and then moving on to reading/writing. I am on level 9 of 11, and I look forward to completing level 10/11 in person in Tel Aviv. I cannot recommend this school, their teachers, and modality enough.

Excellent methodology with an upbeat, young and friendly atmosphere! Teachers are awesome and take pride in their work. Highly recommend

I have been studying at Citizen Cafe on Zoom for 3 years. I've learned a lot and enjoy the Citizen Cafe classes. The teachers are engaging; they make the classes interesting and fun. The other students in my classes have been from all over the world, and it has been great to meet new people who are on the same journey who I would not have met otherwise. I highly recommend this program to anyone serious about improving their Hebrew.

While this may be a "Hebrew Learning Class", it is much more then that. It is a community. You do not just sign up for lessons, you sign up to be part of the family. I could not recommend Citizen Cafe more. If you are new to Israel and looking for guidance and comfort (as well as learning Hebrew of course) this is where you should be. If you are not new to Israel and want the best conversational Hebrew classes, then you are also in the right spot. (highly recommend in person classes!)

I have taken two semesters of Hebrew at Citizen Cafe, levels 9 (a/k/a dark green) and 10 (a/k/a indigo). Both classes were great and I learned a lot, as well as gained a lot of confidence speaking in Hebrew. I highly recommend Citizen Cafe to anyone who wants to learn or improve their Hebrew!

Most fun I’ve ever had learning pretty much anything. Amazing teachers, great system. Fast paced and fun.

Citizen Café has been an excellent Hebrew learning experience. The platform is very professional and user-friendly. The teachers are well trained to engage the students and entertain while providing tools for leaning the language and forging a team with each group of students, that in time become friends. I would highly recommend CCTA.
