Hi Everyone!   If you're wondering why some of the Language & Culture lessons have changed recently, it's because we've updated and expanded the content for several topics, including direct and indirect object pronouns; prepositions; and irregular verb...

I'm trying to find out how to start my next lesson when I log back in. It just takes me to the introduction of the very first lesson?

Is there any way you can disable Audio Mode permanently. Just not something I want to use and find it a nuisance to disable it with every conversation. Thanks Maxie

Hello!   Brief bit of feedback. The translation of the second phrase of this sentence is very difficult: Considerato che ho dei bambini, le uscite sono abbastanza poche. Considering that I have children, I don't go out very often.   I struggled...

I have completed the Rocket Certification through Level 2, Lesson 11.  My scores on on the certification tests are similar, in the range of 90-100, however, some of the completed certification levels are colored green and others are colored yellow.  What...

Am I the only one who does that like the audio lessons structure in Level 2?  I prefer level 1 - just Alex  and Maria and they both explain the phrases after they said/taught them.

I'd really like to be able to revise all the vocabulary that I've hearted so far without having to go back to each lesson and do each part separately. I'd like it to appear at random and test my memory. Is that possible? 

Is there a way to save a Forum thread that you'd like to have for future reference?

Hello   I have purchased all 3 levels of Rocket Italian and am currently working through level 2. I have also bought the Travelogue and Play the Part. I am not sure what order to study these in. Do you have a recommended order of study? Should I comple...

I appreciate Enxhi's response to my previous comment and hope that feedback is truly as welcome as she suggests.  Today I am working on lesson 7.2 and came across this explanation of the phrase “Vorrei andarci”:  Notice andarci is the union of the ver...

I think the lesson on parts of the body needs improvement. First a minor concern: It is never explained that the plural of “il dito” is “le dita” – I just happened to notice the plural in this sentence “Le persone si rompono le dita quando lo fanno” an...

I'm new to the Italian rocket course, but noticed that in Level 1, Module 5, “to like and to miss”, there is an error. It should be “costume da bagno” not “costume di bagno”.    Is this the place to forward corrections to the developers? 

The prerecorded Italian in the interactive “actions” portion of the subject lesson appears to have issues with the first word of a phrase in many cases. Even when i recall what the Italian speaker is saying, the first word sounds wrong. This is on a Wind...

I can't get the pronunciation to load on my MacBook.  Anyone else having problems.  It worked fine for the intro but now won't work.

I have progressed through all the lessons in a module. Now, I want to do the lessons again. How do I reset an entire module or lesson? thanks

Hi All My Play the Part Italian and German will not load. Just comes up with an error and asks me to reload. None of the modules will load. Logged out and in again and still no luck. Any idea why?   Thanks Maxie  

Hi all,   I am new here so sorry if this is a silly question, but is it possible to re-listen to the audio lessons without the interruptions of the English speaker so that as I become more familiar with the vocab, phrasing etc I can listen to just the ...

In  5.5 the conversation introduces the phrase “How long will it take” with ci mettera'. Is this the preferred or common transalation as opposed to ci vorra' ?

Since the app updated this past week, I have not been able to hear the dialog between Allessandro and Maria unless I am using a headphone.  How long before a fix to this bug?

Where can I find Play It! Does every language have it? Can't seem to find it anywhere in my lessons as indicated in the FAQ's.

Hi  For some reason there is a double black clip board over Flash cards and shadowing the forum button. If I try and click on Forum, Flash cards come up, so cannot access any of the forums unless I go to a recent conversation in my email   Don't know h...

I've noticed in the last few days that sometimes the feedback for the writing section shows an entry as correct, when in fact there is an error.  I'm working on section 5 Level 1, and it has happened several times.  The problem seems to occur when there ...

Working on the Writing section.  Previously, after writing in the answer, the program provided the correct written word/phrase and the pronounciation.  There was then an opportunity to record and check the pronounciation.  Now, the program provides the c...

Dear Susan,   Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We apologize for any inconvenience you've experienced with the tutor audio speed settings.   To ensure that the tutor audio remains at the slower speed, please follow these steps: - Click ...

Hi,   A like the course so far, but I would really like a quick study flash card section. Ideally flashcard vocab I have not seen in a while. That way as you make it through modules you can keep older terms in your mind. Ideally a tool that does someth...

I'm trying to find something akin to a syllabus for this program, as I'm using it as part of our homeschool curriculum for my middle schooler. I saw a comment from 2013 in the Spanish forum that there used to be a “My Dashboard” area where a Study Plan w...

Ciao a tutti!   Learning a new language is an exciting journey, but it's not without its challenges and moments of triumph. Whether you're tackling tricky grammar rules, working on your pronunciation, or celebrating those "aha" moments when something f...

Hello I was working on a lesson and happened to see my score over 7600 I know I was not studying that much Is there anyway to drop that number by about 7450 points to give an accurate reading of my learning level. Thanks tom

Ciao a tutti   Wanted to wish all the staff in the Rocket team happy holidays and if you celebrate Christmas a very happy Christmas. On Vancouver Island we are having very cold weather. Unusual on the island, as we are known as the California of Canada...

I was on holiday using the iPhone app, and heard a new voice on the various exercises, and having returned to using my Mac, it's the same.  The pace of speech is quicker and to my hearing, is less intelligible than the male voice previously used.  I real...

Hi there,    Are there any plans to add cloze deletions to Rocket Italian?   Meaning, tests where you have to fill in the word or two in a sentence that is missing?    And it tests your recall and translation skills?   Thanks,   James

Hello,   I know the Android app has not yet been updated to the new UI that the mobile website has, but are there any plans to add functionality to make flashcards on the mobile website and the mobile app for Android (when the UI is updated?   Like h...

Hello,  My flashcards are blank on one side. I think this happened when I tried to reverse the English/Italian on the flashcards.  I have some screenshots attached.  I have tried other modules, resetting the cards, even doing a new lesson for the firs...

Hello!   I am going back and redoing my past levels as a refresher, and to check out the new material.   Something I notice with the flashcards are when there are these kind of sentences, when I get to the flashcards and see “There are some oranges”,...

Hello!   I recently used another language learning app that, when you had to write in a word, the autocorrect on the keyboard was disabled, so that you couldn't rely on for instance Google correcting your mistakes.   Could a similar functionality be ...

Hi Jason Do you intend doing a PLay the Part in Italian. I think it is just lovely and really helpful, So I hope so. Practical aand really helpful, use it for the German lessons Sebongela

Hi  I seem to be having a problem when switching from German to Italian. The points don't change to the relevant language. Even when I go back to dashboard in Italian it seems to revert to German. Not an urgent issue, just wanted to bring this to the a...

Hello. I wish to discontinue my current subscription as I'm not really utilising the lessons. Please do not continue to deduct any further amounts from my account for ongoing subscription, effective immediately. Please confirm this will now cease via r...

To all the staff at Rocket languages I have purchased all the available courses for Italian and German courses. Please update your files. Just got an email am I enjoying my Italian that I have just bought. Been using this program for almost 2 years now....

I enjoy the quick comments in Italian at the begining of each Premium Plus lesson. Most times, by using multiple rewinds, I can understand the gist of what's being said but it sure would be nice to have a transcript in both English & Italian.

HI All  My points are not keeping up with my speaking. Not sure if this is a technical issue or a new process to slow us down. While recording if I press 1,2,3 points don't record. Thanks sebongela

I'm going through the course a second time and I would love to see a transcript of the audio lessons. I've tried printing the lesson to PDF, but this excludes the actual audio lessons. More than anything else I want to see the little conversations the h...

I have become nearly deaf over the past year. I am getting a cochlear implant in 2 days. My ear neurologist surgeon has said that my daily practice in Italian has kept the auditory portion of my brain active despite my hearing loss. He expects that my re...

A year and a half ago, i was able to listen in one go to all the conversations in each level. That is just the talking between the characters, without the stops and explanations that formed each lesson's audio file. Is this possible now - i don't see tha...

What on earth does this mean? was making a flash card set and came up with this.
