Rocket Italian is integral in my study of the language. I use several apps and online programs to vary my study and to avoid – as much as possible – hitting a study wall. Rocket Italian incorporates audio and text in a way that keeps it interesting.
After 10 days of Rocket Italian, I am amazed at how good this course is---I am so enjoying trying to imitate Maria's beautiful Italian voice!! Feel like I've already learned a lot and look forward to doing the lessons every day. I take a 2-week trip to Italy with my daughter next June and feel confident that by then i'll be chattering away with the Italians I meet!
Enjoying Rocket Italian. The flow of the lessons is good. Both the website and the iOS apps are quite good. There are some minor usability issues worth noting. 1. I can't find a way to speed up the recorded lessons which would be helpful for me as I have some background in the language so the early lessons could be moved through faster. 2. The flow of the testing on the web pages is a little confusing. Not clear when you've finished a section and when you haven't. As such, the badges don't appear as completed when I think I have done so. All that being said, I'm learning a lot and enjoying the product. Glad I bought it.
I researched on-line courses and Rocket Italian got the best rating.
It is self paced (I use downloaded recordings then go back to the on-line text and grammar) and I have found it very easy to learn quite sophisticated (but I realise still "baby" language) phrases.
Coupled with a trip to Italy you get a really good accent.
I really recommend it as it is also quite inexpensive and I have so far nearly completed the second premium course in about a year using it on and off.
I really wanted to learn Italian for i pesonally think its a beautiful language. I had a really hard time learning it because not alot of people here know it. Ever since i started using rocket languages my life has been made so much easier. It's easy to use and my italian has improved and thats all thanks to rocket languages (Maria DiLorenzi).
I'm so glad I found Rocket Italian! It's my new happy place, which manages to be as effective and entertaining as podcasts and apps I've tried without being pedantic, patronizing, or repetitive. Alex and Maria are excellent hosts and keep things practical with helpful cultural notes and realistic situations. Even though Alex has a distinctly American accent in comparison to Maria, it's endearing and instructive in its own way. I'm having a blast so far and can't wait to get to later, more complex conversations.
The Software is very interactive and the instructors use clear pronunciation, which can be a problem in the competitors products. Personally I listen to one or two lessons a day on my way to class, but I also repeat the same lessons on the way back. This style is a little more time consuming, but I've noticed my retention of the phrases and ability to understand the dialogue has been increased drastically.
Although I have followed some other Italian language courses, I like this course particularly because of the recording facility, which allows you to hear what you sound like in Italian, as well as the excellent explanations of the grammar points. I also like the numerous tests and the role play sections which mirror as near as possible what it is like to take part in a conversation in Italian. I am not sure I have mastered how all the tests work, but I am sure this will become clearer once I have gone further in the course.
I have just started learning Italian with Rocket Languages. So far it is the best language course out of all courses I tried before. Very well structured! And one if the best things about it is keeping everything in one app on my mobile. Thank you!
I absolutely adore Rocket Languages! I can't believe how much I'm learning and how good I feel about it. I've tried many language learning programs before (including the much-touted Rosseta Stone) and there is definitely no comparison. The key to Rocket Languages' superiority are the audio lessons with the hosts. They "get" how adults learn and take the time to stop and tell you the grammar. The humor is appreciated as well. I really feel like I have a shot at improving my Italian in time for my trip next April. I can also hardly wait to finish the Italian course so I can then purchase the French course. I highly recommend Rocket Languages.
