My name’s Maria DeLorenzi, and I’m the host of Rocket Italian. I come from the beautiful country of Italy, which means Italian is my native language. That also means that I know just how hard it can be to learn a new language, because I’ve been there learning English. Together with my English speaking colleague, Alex, I want to help you to speak and understand Italian while cutting your learning time in half.
I’ve travelled the world over and have found that languages are a great way to meet people and discover new things. I really want to make your Italian learning experience rewarding and fun!
So let`s get started with a key part of learning Italian; how to pronounce Italian words with a perfect Italian accent!
You can sound like you ARE a native Italian speaker when you use Rocket Record, the pronunciation tool from Rocket Italian!
Rocket Record allows you to listen to the way native speakers say hundreds of Italian words and phrases. Then you can record yourself and accurately compare your speech with that of the native speaker.

Most of our Italian lessons take advantage of My Level, our exclusive testing tool. My Level has two testing components, Hear It Say It! And Know It!
Training your ear for Italian can be one of the things that Italian learners find the hardest to master. That’s why we came up with Hear It Say It!
Here’s how Hear lt Say It! works. A randomly selected audio track from within each lesson is played. After listening to the track you’re prompted to record yourself saying the word, compare the way you say it to the Italian speaker, and rate how well you understand what the speaker was saying. A very powerful tool to tune your ear to spoken Italian!

Now, all the training in the world won’t help you if someone is talking to you in Italian and your mind freezes when it’s your turn to speak! That’s why we developed Know It! The self-testing tool that really puts you on the spot!
Know It! pulls randomly selected English words and phrases out of each lesson and prompts you to record yourself saying the Italian translation, compare yourself to the Italian speaker, and then rate how well you did! You really need to know your stuff for this one but the benefits are huge in maximizing how quickly you can come up with the right thing to say when someone is speaking Italian to you!
