Rocket Italian Reviews

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 first started my Italian lessons using Rosetta Stone. After spending almost $300 on the complete Italian course, I advanced pretty quickly and then just gave up after completing a few levels. It was a chore and not fun. I never felt that I was actually learning anything that was useful. I was not retaining the materials. Then I tried Rocket Italian, purchasing the complete course. I love Rocket Italian so much more! I feel I am really absorbing the content. I like the interactivity, the dialogues, the real usefulness of the conversations. Thank you, Rocket Italian!

I had once taken a Pimsleur Course... and found it interesting... but not nearly as 'helpful' as this course; and while I am just beginning the methodology allows me to take part - and also to listen to - my voice thus allows some better understanding of the meaning and sound of the Italian words...

I'm very impressed with the Rocket Languages method. I have studied different languages in a variety of settings: in a high school classroom, on my own with books, in a college classroom, and on my own with books and a native speaker to guide me. I have looked at other methods, such as Berlitz, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, and just the plain old web, but I'm enthusiastically happy about this.

As with all language learning, you have to keep trying and that means regular and frequent study. If you can only put ten minutes per week into the effort, then don't do this. Have a cocktail or watch TV. This method is focused on making you functional in several situations--if you're looking for grammar rules and verb conjugations, then this isn't for you. But if you want to learn and can spend the time building vocabulary, learning to correctly pronounce the words, and growing your understanding of how to speak or understand simple (at first) conversations, then Rocket Languages might be for you.

At first, I thought the conversations were a little simple and I was worried that the vocabulary would be too limited. But I'm impressed with how much I'm learning so far and I actually look forward to my study time each day.

I love the interactive nature of the program. I'm happy to listen but enjoy the fact that I can then speak and hear whether my accent is correct. The program is engaging and most enjoyable. My confidence has increased greatly since starting the program earlier this year.

Excellent course for learning Italian as my 3rd romance language with Spanish being my best. I do not think there could be a better way to learn the basics. Practice, practice, practice and then find someone to practice with!

I want to be able to move on from hear it, write it etc with all keyboard commands. I don't want to use the mouse as it interrupts flow.

I'm impressed by Rocket Languages: I'm learning much more than I thought was possible online and having a good deal of fun. It's pedagogically-savvy (more so than other language-learning products) because it uses a variety of learning methods. I plan on using Rocket to learn my next language.

This is the second time I have used an electronic based course for learning Italian. The first was about 15 years ago, and I did not proceed very far. The structure of this course is very clear and easy to follow, and surprisingly the points earning has exposed a hitherto unknown competitive nature which has assisted motivation to propel me forward. The only change I would make would be to have voice recognition rate your speech, rather than rate your own. The forum is useful, and customer service extremely prompt. 5 stars all around.

The best web to learn the Italian language.becuase after wonderful lectures you have tests to complite and there you can put to the test yourself.I have benefited from lectures and testst,so I want you to do the same.
