Rocket Italian Reviews

Customer service is N/A, as I didn't interact. I do have a recommendations... You should clarify the "formal" vs. "informal" use of "essere" and then label the "you" in phrases like "Di dove sei/siete/e?" accordingly. You could say, "Where are you (formal) from?" or "Where are you (plural) from?". It was confusing to answer and, more importantly, confusing to learn / understand the difference. Otherwise, great job!

I've learned way more than with other programs. I love how much opportunity there is to practice and review AND...you can control what you are studying and reviewing. Other programs will offer you 30 words you know to get maybe one or two you didn't and still not offer some of the others you hoped to review. With Rocket Italian there is much more conversational listening and speaking offered in ways that seem to me more sensible. By sensible, I mean in ways that seem to enable it to "stick" more effectively. Lots of repetition and reinforcement. Best of all, I am actually enjoying using this program. I highly recommend Rocket Italian (and I would imagine any Rocket Language) course!

It's an easy and fun way to get started in any new language or to review after you had a pause.

the easy good hard buttons are kind of a hassle, maybe just being able to press the enter key or tab key if its easy. When its easy it causes an unnecessary delay.

So far so good. I've only been doing it for 4 days. But it seems thorough, and is more fast-moving than some other apps. Plenty of vocab and grammar. I find some of the chattiness in English in the dialogues tiresome, though, and I wonder why the American guy, Alex, is not a native speaker. Even I can tell he has an accent. Still, it seems to work pretty well.

Very good course. I like the mix of audio lessons and then the apps to practice. Better than the other apps I have been using.

I have been practicing Italian using several methods for about a year, including Duolingo max, Coffee Break Italian Podcast, YouTube videos, and chatGPT. I've learned quite a bit, but I was looking for an additional resource to really ramp up my practice in speaking and pronouncing words. I was drawn to Rocket for its reputation for speaking practice, and so far, I'm really impressed. Some of the other tools I use include speaking practice, but this app really takes it to the next level by having you practice every phrase, record it, and scoring it.

Duolingo will have me translate an Italian word or phrase into English, but I always have a word bank to choose from, which allows me to deduce the answer rather than remember it. I like that part of my lesson in Rocket requires me to translate to Italian without a hint, which forces me to try harder to remember it. I also really like that I can record my own voice and play it back, so that I can compare it to the way the teacher pronounces words.

Like the podcast I listen to, these lessons have a teacher and a native speaker who explains cultural nuances, common mistakes, etc. And this really helps draw attention to areas that deserve special focus during practice.

Rocket Italian provides an excellent platform, but I need to bring self-discipline to the table.

I am loving the course! The methodology is very good so far
I hope it keeps the same way in the next lessons

Really well designed course (I have a Masters in Second Language Acquisition), and the material is really varied and enjoyable. The warm and clever personalities of the two hosts really carries me through the work!
