Rocket Italian Reviews

I really like the fact that I can download the lessons to my iPod and listen in my car. I have a long commute and it makes me productive during time that I would normally be stuck in traffic. I would like to visit Italy in a couple of years. I have always thought that Italian was nice to listen to even if I didn't know what was being said. I am glad now to be able to say a few things and I am starting to understand more.

I hit a wall when learning with both Rosetta Stone and The Pimsleur Approach, and Rocket Italian was able to get me past it. The lessons and vocabulary are full of great information. My only complaint is that if I had not gotten it on sale, it would have been a bit to expensive. Otherwise, it is a fantastic learning tool!

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

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!

meraviglioso! Rocket Languages is an excellent program that allow you to learn and/or review the basics of the language you're trying to brush up on or simply learn the basics before you travel abroad.

Before our last trip to Italy we purchased Rosetta Stone, lost interest after about a month and didn't learn as much as we had hoped. We are going back this year, so I decided to try another program. Someone suggested Pimsleur, so I got a trial edition and quickly realized I would pretty much wind up illiterate but be able to speak some Italian. This may be all some people are looking for which is fine, but I wanted to be able to read and write also.

After Googling Italian Language I found Rocket Italian, the reviews were great so I tried it. Rocket Italian has the best overall lessons that I've seen. They start out easy so you have some early success, then get progressively longer and harder. You can repeat as much as you'd like depending on how anal you are at getting everything right (that would be me) or move forward as fast as you want. I have a long commute each day, so I downloaded all the lessons to my Ipod and listen to them on my way to and from work.

I subscribed to the RAI channel as a means keeping track of progress. At first it seemed as though native Italians speak so fast I couldn't tell when one word ended and the next started, they appeared just be making noises, lol.

Granted, I am not a very disciplined student, but I have tried all of the language learning tools around I think... I like aspects of all of them, but not everything about any of them... I haven't been working with Rocket Italian for very long, but I am beginning to think that it may change all of that! I like the variety of presentations they take you through for each lesson - I originally took the stance that I didn't care about being able to write Italian, but as time goes on, I find that it not only helps you remember things, but comes in handy as you email more and more with Italian speakers. I liked that aspect of Fluenz, but other aspects bugged me... didn't really like Rosetta Stone... like Plimslur in my car, but only as practice, not really as comprehensive learning... so, I am thrilled with what I am finding with Rocket Italian!

It's well organized and easy to use anywhere and anytime. Love the record and playback feature because it helps me hear how I sound compared to the instructor. I have the app as well, and use it in the car on my way to work. It was nice to be able to buy just the first lessons to see how well I liked it. I will definitely be buying the next set of lessons too.

Rocket Italian is great! I believe there is one mistake in lesion 5.7 The section heading past perfect tense is actually the present perfect tense. Thus far I am really enjoying this course. It is a great way to learn Italian, the language of all my grandparents whom were born in the area around Torino. My wife and I enjoy Italy. She is impressed that I can use my Italian there.

I have tried a number of online language courses. I found Rocket Italian to be the best. What I like most about the Rocket method is the fact that most all of the lessons call for the student to participate in a dialog which can be repeated as many times as needed. To me, this seems to be a very vital part of learning a language. Additionally, the cultural studies go a long way in understanding how the average Italian thinks and forms sentences. I can't say enough about Rocket Languages.
