Practical, fun, and professional

I’ve been taking classes on and off for 5 years. Every teacher has been great, the methods are creative, successful, and fun, The other students inspire you to improve. The extras like practice sessions, presentations, videos, etc give plenty of room to expand on learning Hebrew but also about life in Israel.The school encourages feedback because they are always trying to improve and build.

I truly love Citizens Cafe lessons and the teachers. CC offer variety of classes based on any level of knowledge. The schedule is very convenient for different time zones. The teachers are enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and engaging. The material is well presented and appropriate for particular class and level of knowledge. The lessons are conducted in pleasant, comfortable and encouraging atmosphere.

So I’ve kinda fumbled my way through 4…

So I’ve kinda fumbled my way through 4 different ulpanim - never gaining confidence to speak.
I decided to make the plunge and invest in Citizen Cafe. Wow!!! I’m learning! I’m speaking! I’m understanding!!! And it’s actually fun!!!
The class content is great- all so practical for getting through daily life in Israel. The teachers make it interesting, fun and relevant.
It’s a completely different approach to learning the language. We actually learn to feel it; to hear it; to repeat over and over; to experience moving our mouth, lips and tongue in a new way to actually speak the language. No notes. No grammar rules. Not boring.
They use songs, television, movies, real life experiences and then we get to just talk. Conversationally. And are encouraged to make friends in the class. Brilliant!!!!!
I’m learning. My only drawback is I wish I knew the platform to ask questions when I get confused. The supplemental- flash cards, recordings, games are also a tremendous help.
Plus the newsletters, extra (fun) classes and seminars. Couldn’t be more engaging!!!
I’ll definitely continue with Citizen ☕️

Now where can I go to ask my questions????

Best course by far…

I’m half way through my first semester and have already signed up for the second. I have tried various Hebrew courses in the past but nothing inspired me. Citizen Cafe firstly has a great method of teaching, it’s relevant, it’s fun, it’s supportive and I feel real progress already. I would fully recommend!

Highly recommended

Perfect way for learning quickly practical Hebrew including slang. Teachers are nice, professional and mostly full of humor, which makes the lessons a real joy. Also a lot of tools in your account for supporting you in your Hebrew journey. Highly recommended!

Exceptional method of learning

I cannot fault this method of learning to speak ivrit. Conversation from first lesson as well as reading and writing. As a rather mature student the patience their teachers have is second to none always encouraging. They really are inspirational. 100% recommend Citizen Cafe no matter what your level of the language is

Amazing program

Amazing program. It is only up to you. How much you want to achieve to get your goal, invest your time there. Amazing teachers. Lessons to study, classes to practice with teachers and other students, so many things and ways to practice your Hebrew alone.

All the journey is up to you. They make your journey to get your goal easier and effective in very short time.

Amazing and effective community

I love the methodology they used to teach you to speak, prioritizing spoken over grammatical rules or memorization.

I have met a wonderful , diverse community online of people across the globe. Highly recommend this learning platform. This is my fourth semester and I really think it is worth the time and effort.

Five stars all around. Great way to learn Hebrew.

Great teaching method. Learn by practice. Not by memorizing. Excellent teachers. Lots of extra practice classes available. Flash Cards and other exercises to try on your own time. And a feeling of camaraderie with other students — a feeling of online friendships. I’m in my fourth level with Citizen Cafe

Interested in a new challenge or hobby?

Learning a new language takes time and dedication. Citizens Cafe makes this experience fun, challenging and rewarding. The teachers are energetic, which makes the one on a half hour class time pass very quickly. The lessons are well thought out and the pace of learning continues unabated even if you miss a class. All classes are recorded so you won’t miss any steps on your journey to speaking and understanding fluent Hebrew. As a retiree, learning to speak Hebrew is one of my very favorite hobbies.
