Rocket Italian Reviews

I find Rocket Italian very helpful (although sometimes the little stories are a bit ikky). Not a problem though - my main problem is finding the time to do the lessons, as I am also learning through Duolingo. I think the course of Rocket Italian is extremely good, far better than the Duolingo - which it should be, as Duolingo is free. But one thing Duolingo has is a brilliant app that counts up how many consecutive days you've been learning ... for some reason, this means that I always do my Duolingo coursework before Rocket Italian, and RI then is often left for another day. I really think RI should find how to program that in, as it's a really great incentive to keep on each day.

I have hesitated for a long time to purchase a language learning software. I have tried using free tools online and they do work, but Rocket Language has really allowed me to structure my learning. I have a native Italian friend helping me learn, as well. I speak with more confidence now that I can study from remedial to advanced learning depending on the subject we practice together. In just a few short weeks it has helped me with my conversational comprehesion, which is my weak spot. It is the best money I have ever spent for knowledge advancement both language and culture. I recommend "The Works" it is well worth the money. Viva Italia!

A very, VERY engaging tool for language learning. Combines speaking, listening, reading and writing in a cohesive and practical way. My Italian has come on leaps and bounds, and I'll definitely continue to use this website as I progress. Not to mention, great value for money.

I started my rocket Italian trial yesterday and now am addicted to this class. The style that Maria and Alessandro use to teach is just amazing. It's like being in a class with two ineractive tutors who not only are taking you through the content but giving you easy conversations that you can relate to. Can't wait to use my little vocabulary with those Italian tourists visiting. Bene grazie. ..

Would I recommend to a friend? Already did, to all four of my immediate colleagues at work that are considering Spanish, French, Italian and Japanese.

Did Pimslueur when I was trying to learn Lithuanian for my wedding. Great for pronunciation but certainly very limited vocabulary, no grammar instruction, no book and no writing component. Very expensive on top of that.

Rocket Italian seems to have all of these bases covered so that I can look forward to a true understanding of how the language works rather than parroting back audio tapes.

This is an excellent language course, which is fairly priced. The lessons were fun, practical and educational. The ability to review, select favourite phrases and track progress are great features. The interaction between the 2 protagonists made the lessons personal. All lessons had continuity and flow, which made learning a more pleasant experience. I definitely recommend this product.

After trying different language suites, text books and audio programs, I must admit that I could have saved a lot by starting out with rocket. The different features such as writing exercises and quizzes are something the program has over other systems.
I do find the goading unnecessary, however, whereby I'm referring to the pricing politics during the free trial. For 6 days they flashed me pop-ups, that I could save half the price of the $400 package. Then, right after I finally purchased the suite, I see yet another limited offer, which would have saved me an additional $30. That makes me question the integrity of the service, although I haven't regretted my purchase to date. Why flash the $400 price tag, like you are bartering at a Turkish bazaar?

The American accent spoken by Alex reminds me of fingernails and a chalk-board. But the Itialian speakers dominate the course. I feel confident reccommending Rocket Italian to others seeking to achieve conversational proficiency.

This curriculum is good...better than the R.S. course. I am able to learn Italian at my own pace, in my spare time, and I can listen to courses while commuting. I appreciate how the curriculum forces conversation, which aides in faster learning. I bought the first Rocket Italian course and I have used it for hundreds of hours. What a great value! I will be buying the next 2 courses soon!

I'm really enjoying this course. I've previously tried to use both Duolingo and Babel. Duolingo is good for learning vocabulary, but not much else. And Babel was just too boring! I love this format, how there's the base lesson that helps you learn from a conversational point of view, and then the complimentary language and culture lessons to provide more color and nuances. And the Play It feature is great! I would highly recommend Rocket Languages for whatever language you are trying to learn.

The learning process is orderly, and the instructors are engaging. Alex can be a bit wooden at times, but that is a minor issue. I need to go through the lessons again and again. Difficult to learn a new language as an older adult, but Rocket Italian is an excellent way to get started. The lessons provide plenty of opportunity to practice. You need to use the website and do the exercises. The audio is not enough for me. I like the daily point system which gives you a goal to strive for. The goal can be met with modest effort (not too little or too much is expected in a given day). I'm still in the first series. I feel I am improving, although iyou must trust the process to derive the benefits. Practice, practice, practice!
