Rocket Italian Reviews

Rocket Italian has been a perfect fit for my limited time in practicing the basics of the language. I appreciate the different exercises and think this is a solid program for those starting out. Being able to listen to the audio lessons is available and great reinforcement when reviewing vocabulary and other terms. I would buy this product again.

I've only been using the course for three days now, but so far the lessons have been interesting and engaging. I find it a plus that there is a native speaker who speaks clearly and slowly and is easy to understand, even with the accent. I am mildly concerned about not learning a variety of vocabulary but as I have literally just started the program, I'll reserve judgement.

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 had study italian many years ago. I was quite fluent but since I forgot most of it. I like the spead they have during the first lesson. I feel I will be at last able to learn properly Dante's language.

I have been studying Italian since 2010. Rocket Italian has been my primary learning vehicle although I have dabbled with others. Even with Rocket Italian, I suffer from 2 things everyone else struggles with: 1. Not having a person (s) with whom I can carry on a conversation and 2.I have a real job that takes up a lot of time. I have all 3 products, levels I, II and III and early on I raced through each lesson and did the multiple test questions at the end then went on. Then as time went on, I went back and listened to each lesson a 2nd and 3rd and 4th time and did all the tests. Hear it Say it, Write it and Know it. When I started doing those faithfully, my learning really took off. Another thing that has helped me recognize words is a website you can go to called Slow News in Italian. You can google it. It’s the days news slowly, in Italian and the translation is there if you struggle. It really helps pick up conversation. I offer these ideas because I just read several of the posts people have made and I see so many of us with the same issues. Buon imparando!

i have very much liked the rocket italian course and i am sure i will purchase this course at some time.you are providing very good courses for learning and by hearing the words we can also excel in that accent and thank you for proividing audio interactive lessons

Your content is perfect for learning. Great writing and easy to understand.

I 've been enjoying the course so far! I like the fact that I can work my own pace. I find it the voice recognition system very useful as I always compare the native speaker pronunciation with mine. I've noticed that my comprehension skills have improved and also the cultural aspects associated with the course are to the point. It makes learning memorable :)

Great course even if for non English native speakers it all is based on English as a starting point. The only thing I am missing is a enhanced vocabulary section where they could be learned and tested more sophisticated together across multiple parts of the course.

I’m learning new words at a pace very comfortably.
