Much better Italian learning tool than Babbel, which I previously tried. The format is fun, engaging and repetitive enough to enhance learning. So I look forward to my daily lessons.
We'll see how 3 months of practice (plus previous Italy trips) improves my conversational skills in Sicily this May.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for the review, Richard! It's really exciting to hear that Rocket Italian has helped you develop your conversational skills, which you envision putting into practice in Sicily. Wishing you an absolutely amazing trip!
While I am learning, I wouldn't use the prompted word, "awesome". The course relies heavily on voice recognition, which isn't entirely reliable. Also, there are a frustrating number of words or grammatical rules that appear in the practice phrases that weren't included in the lesson. Keeping a Google Translate window open helps with the vocabulary. I'm left to hope that the unexplained grammar will eventually be covered in a subsequent module...

Thank you for your feedback, Robert. Please contact us at [email protected], and we would be happy to look into the grammar rule you mentioned, provide more information, and assist you with voice recognition. In the meantime, remember that the Rocket Italian Forum is available for you and monitored by our friendly Italian tutor, so feel free to post your grammar questions there for additional clarification.
1, Right now teaching & understanding grammar is weak in the program
2. Need to progress further to decide if I'll buy again
3. decent price when discounted
4. I would explain what I understand of the program at this point.
5. Help with browser recording process almost useless.
"Take Italy Made Easy" (Manu's) videos and couple it with these structured exercises and you'd have a much stronger program.

Hi Ed, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are sorry to hear that the program did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that grammar lessons are referred to as Language and Culture Lessons in our course and are separate from our Audio lessons. We hope this clears up any confusion. We wish you the best of luck with your Italian language journey!
Thus far I am enjoying Rocket. I really like the explanations of why certain words are they way they are. It helps me understand the language.

Thank you for your review, Melanie! We're glad to hear that Rocket Languages is working for you. Keep up the good work!
Rocket Languages is a robust learning tool which is providing me with a good grounding in Italian. The course provides clear, in-depth lessons, and while it doesn't shy away from grammar and repetition (you can't learn a language without them!), it makes learning fun. I compared it to several on-line study options before buying; Rocket definitely offers much better value for the money. If you really want to learn a language, and not just be able to parrot a few phrases, this is the program.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Susan. We're so glad to hear from our users who love the course just as much as we do. We hope you continue to enjoy Rocket Italian and promise that you'll be speaking Italian in no time!
The speech recognition is terrible. It is very frustrating to repeatedly have to say simple words like tre, or anno because the first half of the word isn't picked up, also p and c are often confused by the software. Learning needs to be enjoyable and before I get the carbon copy have you tried setting this, get a better headset b.s. I have a $300 state-of-the-art headset that I use for zoom meetings, online test proctoring, and music production. It is NOT my equipment. This whole course is centered around listening (which works perfectly) and repeating to work on pronunciation. I am assuming and hoping that it will be better later in the course when I am speaking in complete sentences, but I'll never know because I can't justify paying this already high price for a program that doesn't work from the beginning.

Hi Patrick, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We're sorry to hear about the issues you are having with the speech recognition—that shouldn't be happening. We have contacted you via email to get some more information from you. We can also jump on a call with you and try to iron this issue out.
Best language learning course I have used. I highly recommend this program to anyone trying to learn Italian.

Thank you, Michael, for being a part of the Rocket Italian community! Keep up the great work!
Good course, with a few issues. The module one sections 1.5 and up, dealing with articles, nouns, pronouns, etc. really need more development. There is a ton of important grammar in there but it is dealt with too lightly, and has way too much unfamiliar dialogue thrown in that is above level 1. This has been a major stumbling block for me. Level 2 hardly touches on these topics. It seems like Rocket dropped the ball on this section. I'll keep flipping back and forth between sections to try and make sense of it!

Hi Tony, thank you for your review. We understand that these concepts can be overwhelming for new learners and we appreciate your feedback on this. The Italian team will take another look at these lessons with your feedback in mind. All the best!
I just started the course and I already love it. Very well structured course.

We love hearing that you love our Italian course!
something awesome about Rocket Languages here is that is a better learning online. This helped me learn Italiano better. Questo apprendimento online mi ha aiutato a imparare più italiano di me.
