Rocket Italian Reviews

I find Rocket Italian very helpful (although sometimes the little stories are a bit ikky). Not a problem though - my main problem is finding the time to do the lessons, as I am also learning through Duolingo. I think the course of Rocket Italian is extremely good, far better than the Duolingo - which it should be, as Duolingo is free. But one thing Duolingo has is a brilliant app that counts up how many consecutive days you've been learning ... for some reason, this means that I always do my Duolingo coursework before Rocket Italian, and RI then is often left for another day. I really think RI should find how to program that in, as it's a really great incentive to keep on each day.

With Rocket, I feel confident I am learning not only words but grammar and pronunciation. It's a great program that is easy to follow, has a great mobile app and a wealth of knowledge online. I've recommended it to several friends already.

I am taking the Italian course and it's been great so far. The recorded dialogues are clear and engaging and increase difficulty at an appropriate rate. I am actually surprised at how motivating the point system is -- I find myself staying longer to complete course work and rack up points. The exercises can get repetitious, but that comes with the territory in a language course and is really jus what one should be doing. I have purchased three levels of instruction and am looking forward to completing all of the levels before I go live abroad for a year.

I was originallyyoung drawn in by the great reviews and I'm happy to say I agree with them. The pacing of the lessons is great and the price was well worth it especially if you compare to classroom lessons

Just completed Duolingo - learned a lot of vocabulary and got a crash course in grammar. However, I'm completely at a loss when attempting to make conversation. I can tell immediately that this course is the right next step after Duolingo.

Just coming up on ten days using Rocket Language, and the flexibility and ease of use have allowed me to develop good habits so far. The course is well organized, and varied, which helps with avoiding boredom, particularly during the necessary repetition of early stage practice. The audio is well done, and the multi-platform nature of the testing makes it possible to study in small bits, or in bursts, whichever fits my energy level and schedule for the day. It's not without weaknesses - I could wish for a few more visual aids, and charts for focused review. It may be I simply haven't progressed far enough into the subject material to find these yet. Having completed one module in 9 days, I'm going to try to sustain a similar pace going forward. It appears this will require between 1 and 1.5 hours a day in Level 1. Will update if necessary. Also, for keyboard users, some of the written testing can be accomplished much more quickly if you use a keyboard-mouse click option - hover the mouse over the rating key you use most often, and create a hot-key to click with - increases speed and reduces frustration, for me, anyway.

I previously wrote a rather negative review of Rocket Language, based on a persistent problem I had with audio during the testing format. After submitting that review, I received an immediate email from the company. They wanted to detail the problem. Now other companies I have dealt with always say that when there is a problem, but basically dropped the ball. That is certainly not the case with this company. They tried to duplicate my problem on various formats. Apparently, the issue is only on my ipad. Even i can't replicate it on my iphone. I appreciate their prompt response and attempt to help. They even offered to refund my money, which i refused. I previously bought an completed the Pimsleur Spanish program. This program is much better and more interesting. The explanations are very helpful. I would certainly recommend Rocket Languages to anyone who wants to learn and understand a new language.

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!

Great price and lots and lots of great tools to improve your language skills and become comfortable with your Italian.
I was extremely please by how all of the review show higher rating compared to other programs (i.e: Rosetta Stone) and how the price is much lower. The content is great, by providing you with means to speak, listen, and practice your italian, as well as learn about the culture and costumes of the country and the people.
I also enjoy knowing that I have lifetime access to the software and all that it comes with, which allows me to go back to it whenever I please.
