I am one week in having completed module 1 of level 1, I bought the course to mainly learn in the car on a 1.5 hour each way commute. I must say I am very impressed so far, the 'banter' between the course instructors is amusing and adds to the learning experience and always look forward to the next lesson. i do find I have to listen to the current lesson at least three times for it all to sink in but the followup exercises using the app are invaluable for reinforcing the lessons. Having only studied French at GCSE level (A grade ;-)) previously 30 years ago I do find I have to work out the grammar myself from the audio lessons and the app myself as its not always explained. This is just probably down to how I personally like learn so no real criticism of the course. Having said that I have had a sneak peak at later lessons and I think this will come in time. All in all its early days buy I'm very much enjoying and learning a lot from the course. What may be useful are some resources such as links to simple podcasts and children books to all read and learn from.

Excellente!

Early days yet. I can read Italian, more-or-less, because I learned Latin up to A-Level and speak reasonable French and basic Spanish. But the Rocket course, so far, looks like what I need if we're going to fulfill our ambition of renting an apartment in Venice for two or three months in 2022. You can't just go and live in another country on the basis that you'll shout at the locals in English.

As to the star ratings, however, there should be a category for 'Not applicable'. Having bought Rocket Italian I don't need to buy it again and I haven't yet had need of customer service - so I'm giving those one star.

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...

This has been really helpful. If you are thinking about switching from some time trap like Duolingo to something that will actually help you learn, use Rocket!
I'll let you in on a little secret. If you buy level 1, it will offer you money off for level 2. If you deny that, it offers even more money off, so level 2 will only cost an additional $60. If you deny that one there are no further deals from my experience.

Thank you for your review, Ross. It's great to hear that you're making solid progress in your Italian skills with Rocket Italian. Keep up the good work!

Great way to learn a new language! The pace is very approachable and the instructors do a great job of showing you a slow pace and natural pace.

I am impressed with the amount of content I quickly picking up! However, I just wish there was a way I could practice my conversation skills, directly.

Only other feature I wish was included was some sort of podcast/media content that you could just listen to on commutes. No need for testing/flashcards from it, but just additional "listening time" about culture and specific grammar mistakes.

Rocket Italian is great to learn a new language. I completed the very first module and even only finishing the first module helped drastically in terms of my Italian. The reciting activities and reviewing features in each lesson helped me recognise and remember the older vocabularies I learnt. My pronunciation improved although I am still working on rolling my 'r' pronunciation.

The Italian course provides an excellent beginning for learning this pleasing language. Easy to follow, paced appropriately, and just enough to get you going but not frustrate you. IMHO, this approach is far superior to just flashing pictures and trying to get you to associate with a word.

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.
