Rocket Italian Reviews

I have used rocket Spanish and loved it. I will soon be taking a trip to Italy so I am now trying to learn using rocket Italian . Rocket Languages, in my opinion, are the very best and easiest way to learn a new language.

Rocket Italian has been super helpful for me. My boyfriend is Italian and this course allowed me to communicate in his native country with his family. There are some glitches such as sensitivity with the hear it, say it part of the course, and a bug with the certification, but they are really good about fixing things.

I enjoy the conversations that Rocket Italian is based on, but as a language instructor that uses strictly immersion techniques, I can't stand the amount of English that is in each lesson. There is SO much room for additional vocab that could be taught through the use of more exclusive Italian. It makes me frustrated to waste so much time on English banter. I am really struggling to make use of this course.

Rocket languages has really helped me a lot, I got to learn how to speak Italian within a week by the time I went there on holiday I found it easy to interact with Italian people and my friends and they were impressed! I would also encourage individuals to join this site , its not just an everyday class you attend, you have fun doing it too. ciao!

Its a fun way to learn and you learn a lot of vocabulary very quickly. Reviewing previous lessons as you go is a great way of ensuring that everything sticks in memory as much as possible, especially if there is a longer period of time between the lessons. Some of the sentences are rather on the long side to take in and some words it would be nice to see spelt out as you can't always pick it up straight away but overall a very good course.

Quite simply, Rocket works! I’ve tried other major products with previous languages, that weren’t nearly as effective as Rocket, despite them costing a lot. I am learning Italian at a much quicker rate than I expected based on previous experience, and it’s sticking! I like the repetition and reinforcement methodology, supported via multiple tools, including flash cards and voice recognition exercises. I highly recommend Rocket compared to others.

Rockt Italian is very well designed. There is lots of repitition. Learning aids such as flash cards and the voice recording feature make this the best overall package I've found. The prompts in English, in which you are required to provide the correct word in Italian, cement the learning and highlight the words and phrases that haven't stuck. The biggest obstacle to learning is my own brain. After months, and hours of hours of practice, my progress in the real world is quite limited. I am recognizing more and more individual words and phrases. Things like numbers, days of the week, names of vegetables and products at the store, etc. are becoming familiar. However, I still cannot hold a simple conversation. But it's due to my facilty with learning a language, not the program. I mention this because there's no magical cure to learn a language. Lots and lots of practice and hearing the language in everyday transactions is the only way.

The only poorly-performing feature is the voice recordings in the practice exercises. I have a good headset with a microphone almost touching my mouth. It often doesn't work--the program can't pick up what I'm saying, or hears it wrong. There should be a built-in mic test in the program that lets you boost the levels and dial it in bettter. Or just a better recording module installed.

I have not had a need for the customer service so n/a This course is better suited for a longer time frame we had planned to go in March but rescheduled to next year. i take a lesson at least 5 days a week, and it helps. I am also watching an Italian comedy to hear Italian. I am fluent in Spanish, so the hard part for me is to say it in Italian and not Spanish, and this process is really helping!

The introductory lesson was very well done. The host and teacher have pleasant voices, speak clearly and intelligibly and seem enthusiastic. The instructions were clear and the method promotes retention of proper words and pronunciation. I enjoyed the lesson and look forward to improving my Italian vocabulary and pronunciation as we prepare for a visit to Italy next year. I think these lessons will enable me to learn Italian while exercising, a real “win win” as I get ready for lots of walking in the beautiful cities and towns of Italy (where I have no plans to attempt driving an automobile).

I've used Rocket before for another language. I'm very happy with it. Some things annoy me, for example, mistakes. Just in the first dialog, we are told that "Uno, due, tre" rhymes with "quattro , cinque, sei". But this almost undoes the lesson about pronunciation since 'tre' ends on a pure vowel 'e' and 'sei' ends on a diphthong 'ei'. They don't rhyme. Apart from the mistakes (and I'm hoping there aren't as many as the last time I used this program), I think it's one of the best available. And I do tend to be fussy.
