I have only just started but so far am impressed in contrast with other approaches.
I am very pleased to have a balance of styles and methods of teaching that really encourages one to move forwards and not get bored. the pace of the first few sessions seems about right to me.

For some reason, it works better in terms of mic/voice recognition using Chrome rather than Safari on my MAC, but that's not a major drawback.

It would be good to also have packaged with the product some Italian interlinear translations of modern literature in pdf and spoken (slowly) form ... say Harry Potter/ Alice in Wonderland / The name of the Rose.

I have also found that using a "Translate" app on my iPhone on a regular basis throughout the day to add an extra active dimension to learning the language and pronunciation.

All in all an initially great experience for a 60-year-old who isn't that great at learning languages.

Generally the best language software I have found, but I have two gripes:
1. the level 2 courses have identical dialogue in Italian and French, which makes them so much more boring the second time around
2. There is no reduction in the quantity of english as the level increases. The program should phase out the use of English through level 2 and it should be almost entirely absent in level 3 in my opinion. For this reason I will not buy another level 3 course.

Response from Rocket Languages: Hi Tim - Thanks for the review. The Italian and French Interactive Audio lesson conversations courses are similar but not identical. The Italian/French gets more complicated as you go up the levels. Also, the Language & Culture lessons for Levels 2 & 3 are about to be fully revamped within the next 2 months.

I love the program. I've been using another program for the last 8 months and there is no comparison. Rocket Italian provides grammatical explanations that are easy to understand and remember.

I really like the lessons and platform! One suggestion is, add videos of situational interactions to help with visual retention.

First of all, I have to say that I was able to choose East Germany, which makes me happy.

And this course is really fun and I learned something in a very short time. Wow. Hopefully I can scrape together the money.

While I am just starting, I like the way you hear the entire conversation, then play a role in speaking the part. The feedback is instantaneous, where you get to hear your dialogue and correct any mistakes. It forces me to concentrate so that I put the emphasis on the correct vowel. After the conversation part, you get flash cards to test your knowledge and then write the words in Italian. It's a great way to begin learning the Italian language.
