Citizen Café Tel Aviv Reviews 553

I am really enjoying Citizen Cafe. I like how it makes me use my brain! The fast pace of each class keeps me alert for each of the 90 minute classes and the written review material helps me remember. The visuals and the
mnemonic devices are a big help too.

I’ve been studying at Citizen Café Tel Aviv and my experience has been amazing. I love their method — you start speaking from the very first lesson, so your brain and mouth get used to Hebrew right away. I’m now in my third semester, and all my teachers — Ido, Nitzan, and Bar — have been fantastic.

I feel very motivated to keep learning with Citizen Café because I want to become fluent. For me, it’s one of the best ways to learn a new language — practical, fun, and very effective. Highly recommend!

This an amazing organisation with wonderful friendly and knowledgeable teachers dedicated to giving the best learning experience, I couldn't recommend it more highly

I'm in my 4th semester of Citizen Cafe and I truly feel my confidence building. I'm find myself speaking Hebrew more and more in public. The teacher is awesome and the pace is just right. I always look forward to my next class.

Most amazing language learning method! Just incredible. As efficient as it is pleasant! The 2 teachers I have had for my first 2 semesters are second to none!

I have been trying to learn Hebrew for a number of years. I never was able to really speak without hesitation. I started learning with Citizen Cafe about two years ago. All of my Israeli friends and family say my Hebrew has advanced incredibly fast. In addition, all of the extra options that Citizen Cafe offers to help you review and practice my Hebrew are amazing (such as flashcards online and optional live practice groups via Zoom). I highly recommend using Citizen.!!!

As a teacher with a Masters’ in Educational Philosophy and another in Teaching and Learning. Citizens’ cafes’ methodology is one where they are teaching in the manner in which the brain learns. Through spaced learning, repetition, relevant content and meaningful connections and community, their approach is not only effective, but fun. My teacher, Hadar, is consistent, professional and encouraging. Hadar provides a safe space to make mistakes and learn from them. I am impressed with how much I am learning and am glad I began this journey with Citizens cafe. Everything they promised, they delivered.

I’ve always loved studying Hebrew, but it had been over 40 years since I had done so formally. After living in Israel for a couple of years many years ago, I developed a deep appreciation for the language and had always hoped to return to it one day.

When I decided to begin again, I googled “Hebrew conversational study” and came across Citizen Café. I signed up for a placement test and started shortly thereafter. Initially, I felt out of my depth and reached out to inquire about switching levels — the process was seamless and the staff was incredibly accommodating.

I’m now in my fourth semester studying with Citizen Café, and I can genuinely feel my fluency growing. The pace of improvement has been remarkable. The materials provided to reinforce what we learn in class are excellent — engaging, clear, and incredibly effective. I’ve noticed real, measurable progress since I began.

The teachers are all terrific — warm, encouraging, and skilled. The methodology they use is both modern and highly effective, making each class dynamic and practical. I couldn’t be happier with the program and recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone looking to deepen their Hebrew skills in a meaningful, conversational way.

The teachers are excellent. The class is a fun and pressure free environment. Massive differences between this wonderful program and the traditional Ulpan. It is worth it. Gave me more confidence learning the language and to not be discouraged at my pace. Amazing experience.

Learning a new language is not easy but our patient, very energetic and dedicated teacher made our class sessions more comfortable, astounding and fun. Strategies and techniques applied and executed like the flashcards, and practice to go with the daily notes made my learning experience fun and amazing. I absolutely recommend Citizen Cafe.

Learning Hebrew with Citizen Café has been amazing. Their teaching method is incredibly effective, and I’m learning to speak much faster than I expected. The practice classes are excellent and really help reinforce what we’ve covered. The only thing that would make it even better is the option to download the flashcards for offline use, so you can continue practicing anywhere.

Learning Hebrew with Citizens Café has been an amazing experience! The program is incredibly well-designed, and I’ve learned a ton in a short amount of time. The teachers are sweet, energetic, and truly passionate about what they do. They make every class fun, encouraging, and full of positive energy.

What sets this program apart is how interactive and engaging it is—they use games, music, pictures, and conversation to keep you involved and help the language really stick. It creates a vibrant and effective learning environment that feels both natural and enjoyable. I feel more confident using Hebrew in real-life situations, and I’m excited to continue growing with the program.

The only downside for me is the price—it’s definitely an investment—but the quality and experience make it worthwhile. I highly recommend it to anyone serious about learning Hebrew in a fun and supportive way. :)

Citizen Cafe has made an incredible difference in my level of Hebrew. All of the hype is for a good reason. If you want to actually get better at Hebrew, this is the way!

Everything, teachers are amazing.
The group is inspiring
The method makes it great

I have been learning Hebrew with Citizen Cafe for over 2 years. Every teacher has been fantastic and the methodology really works. I will be a student with them for many years!

I have been taking classes with Citizen Cafe for over a year. I started at a beginner level, and now I am about to begin my first semester in the "Freedom" level. Their method is always fun and relevant. I love learning with students from all over the world and making connections. The teachers are consistently fabulous. Each time a semester ends, I wonder how the next teacher will ever compare to the one I just had... but then the next one comes along and is even more fabulous than the last! I am obsessed with Citizen Cafe and highly recommend this program!

I simply cannot recommend Citizen Cafe enough … it has been an AMAZING!! Journey 🇮🇱 💞🎶
I joined nearly six months ago at a time where my life circumstances were very challenging as it is for so many, ESPECIALLY Israel! Becoming part of Citizen Cafe has somehow connected my heart in an even deeper way to my own Jewish identity, to the beautiful people of The Land, and The Land itself. There are no words to fully convey what this has done to me and for me … it has helped to bring further healing to my innermost being. I am so grateful!

Their method of teaching is TOPS!! Using repetition and continual speaking like a beautiful, perpetual song 🎶💞 The teachers and the support network have all been incredible: the teachers are so patient and engaging ~ we have fun! And the support, nothing ever seems too much for them to help you continue your own journey of learning.

All I can say is GO FOR IT!!
You won’t be disappointed … be prepared for the challenge but also for a lot of fun!

Having known how to read Hebrew but not much else, I’ve harbored a life long dream of being able to converse in Hebrew. In halfway through my first group of lessons and I’m speaking in Hebrew. It will definitely be a longer journey to speak and understand fluently, but I can see that it will happen. Thank you Citizen Cafe. The teacher is off the charts. Kind, smart, with amazing positive reinforcement.

Thoroughly loving learning Hebrew with Citizen Cafe! We have a fantastic group on Zoom from all over the world and our teacher, Roy, is amazing! We started at beginners level (Red) at the beginning of April and after only 10 or 11 classes we are already talking to each other in full sentences and writing in Hebrew! It's insane! We are speaking (and writing) the whole class and the 90 minutes literally flies by. It really is so much fun and the method is brilliant! I think that all of us are moving on to the next level (Orange!) in July! We're all hooked!
