I used Rocket Italian for several years and the used several other language apps, however, none were as complete as Rocker Italian. Also, with the recent changes to the Rocker Italian format, I feel more comfortable knowing that it is using the CEFR format.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for being such a dedicated member of the Rocket Italian community. We are proud to align our courses to internationally recognized language standards such as the CEFR and are glad that you are finding comfort in this.

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.

Response from Rocket Languages

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.

I have liked the program so far but here are my main criticisms:
First, the pacing. I wouldn't say I like having 5 audio lessons consecutively and then 5 language and culture lessons in a row. I prefer to have one audio and one language and culture lesson each time. I also wish these two types of lessons were more related and interconnected. they seem so disjointed and irrelevant right now.
I also wish that there was some sort of spaced repetition feature for reviewing previously learned vocabulary and materials. Therefore I have to manually make flashcards in another program (Anki) for this which is a little cumbersome than having them readily available.
I would like to see some new features for exercising the learned vocabulary and grammar instead of just repeating the limited number of sentences in each lesson and requiring the students to form and come up with new sentences.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you, Mohammad! You've raised some great points! We have a testing activity called the Rocket Certification tests in the Tools area for revisiting covered content. The course is divided into different lesson types for flexibility, so there's no fixed way to progress through it. You can switch between lesson types as you see fit! We understand the need for a stronger connection between Language and Culture, and Audio lessons, and we're working on incorporating this into our newer courses. We always value user feedback, so if you'd like to discuss anything in more detail, feel free to contact us at [email protected]!

Questo corso linguistico e molto utile, molto facile di seguire, ed anche molto divertente.
I miei amici italiani mi dicono che loro hanno una impressione molto favorevole del mio progresso.
Grazie mille.

Learning Rocket Italian is very hard work but the only way to learn how to speak fluently.

Response from Rocket Languages

At Rocket, we understand that learning a new language can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. That's why our course comprehensively covers all the grammar you need to master Italian. It's great to hear that you're gaining a lot from this, Julie. Keep up the incredible work!

I think Rocket Languages is great! I love the way it integrates real life conversations with grammar in a way which makes language learning fun, interactive and productive. I also love how at the end of each lesson there is an option to practice the vocabulary using different modes (listening, writing, speaking). This not only allows you to memorise the words but practicing in this way also trains your ear to be able to write unknown Italian words without needing to be told how to spell them. I only started learning Italian about a month ago but I already feel like I've made so much progress and the great thing is I enjoy it too!

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you, Emily! We're delighted to hear about the progress you've made learning Italian in just a month. We love having you in our community of language learners and can't wait to see where this journey takes you!

Ciao tutti a Rocket Italian! I have been enjoying the course for a couple of weeks now. It's really helping my listening and speaking skills. I like the way it's based on conversations - this is very useful. and I also find the grammar explanations very good.
I can't wait to try it all out on my next visit to Italy.
Grazie e a presto!
Judith
