Rocket Italian Reviews

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.

What I particularly enjoy about this way of learning another language, is the way that old material can be accessed to provide revision and constant reminders of basics. Other courses that I have tried, do not offer this most important learning technique.

I am just in the early Italian lessons but already I have a feel for the language. The ROCKET style is both immersive and explanatory. The lessons are based on real conversations and then verbs and grammar are expanded. The added cultural references are fantastic!
I think the strongest feature of the curriculum lies with the ability to record your own voice and compare it to the lesson speaker. I am able to speak and listen over and over, hearing every little inflection until I get it right. At the introduction to each lesson, it sounds difficult. At the end of each lesson it seems so easy. The review before each new lesson reinforces the previous lesson. As an instructor myself, I appreciate the careful lesson plan that engages vocalization, comprehension, vocabulary expansions, and written words. But unlike dry textbook style, the lesson is really just a typical conversation, so you feel able to jump right into a situation and understand. I have wanted to speak Italian my whole life so I can travel to Italy and now I am so exited that this is now within my reach.

This is a great site to help you learn a language. I am using it to learn Italian, having grown up around the language, i thought I already knew the basics, but this has helped me to learn how to speak properly and learn even more! It's very thorough in it's explanations of why certain words are used and how to learn the correct grammar and forms of the words. The voice recognition is an excellent tool in helping you to make sure your pronunciation is correct. It works best with headphones and helps to point out which parts of a sentence you are saying incorrectly, then you can mark it easy or hard so you can come back to it later if you need more practice. They also have a wonderful app that allows you to practice on the go! Honestly without the app, i might never get on to practice, i’m usually too lazy to actually get onto the computer so the app has been fantastic. You can do everything on the app that you can on the website. Customer service is great, I had trouble using the app at first so i sent an email and got a very quick reply. They are also open to suggestions on what you think can be improved so that you can learn easier. Money well spent!

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!

I am learning at my own pace. It is easy to follow. It is my first time that I am learning a language online. It helped a lot when i started to watch tv with Italian language. I can understand better several meanings.

My only concern is that I cannot open the flash cards of the games, but the full program is very good.

Well, I've just started learning Italian through the Rocket Italian website. I'd spent some time looking for an online course, and this one seemed to receive the best reviews. I was so impressed by the trial, I've decided to subscribe to the course. I've tried to learn Italian in the past but had a few false starts. What I like about the site is its design and ease of use. Careful thought has gone into how each lesson is structured, and how each module makes you feel that you're really learning. Each lesson's exercises really force your brain to remember what you've learned. I've already recommended Rocket to a few friends and would advise anyone to take a look. I'm planning on completing the course a lesson per day, then buying the French course when complete.

I really wanted to learn Italian for i pesonally think its a beautiful language. I had a really hard time learning it because not alot of people here know it. Ever since i started using rocket languages my life has been made so much easier. It's easy to use and my italian has improved and thats all thanks to rocket languages (Maria DiLorenzi).

The Software is very interactive and the instructors use clear pronunciation, which can be a problem in the competitors products. Personally I listen to one or two lessons a day on my way to class, but I also repeat the same lessons on the way back. This style is a little more time consuming, but I've noticed my retention of the phrases and ability to understand the dialogue has been increased drastically.

Great program so far! I'm about halfway done with Level 1 and I am incredibly pleased with the course so far. Both of the instructors have an excellent pace, and the focus on audio with cultural lessons is very effective for me. With other language-learning in school, there was a heavy focus on reading and writing, which is important, but actually speaking the language and learning how to pick our words and phrases you know helps to reenforce the learning effectively.

Very excited to continue the modules and other levels-Molto Bene Rocket Italian!
