Buon giorno,
With all of my traveling I wanted to start learning another Language, not only to interact with my friends, but to have a sense of accomplishment with something I know would challenge me.
The course has been great so far, easily purchased and ready to go when you are, I love it!! just reading a piece of text or listening to radio makes me smile as i am actually grasping my understanding more and more each day! and that's only on level 1, roll on levels 2 and 3.
The structure is well thought out, the grammar is very well explained as that's the part where im sure everyone is mind boggled at some point, maybe there could be some downloadable interactive audio lessons with the grammar sections as well so that it can be listened to on the go and then read for reference?
The only thing i will add (Technical issue) is that the Rocket record on my lap top doesn't pick up on my pronounciation and i can record just about any sound i like... I end up testing myself separately on the Rocket app, which works fine but not ideal. I hope this can be fixed at some point for use across all devices.
other than that, very very happy and would recommend to anyone.
Grazie mille Rocket italian for helping me on my way.
Appredimento felice

I am very pleased with Rocket Italian. After two weeks my vocabulary has increased greatly along with my ability to speak the language. I spoke to a native Italian and they told me that my accent was spot on and I have only got through the first block of lessons in Module 1.
I'm very impressed with the Rocket Languages method. I have studied different languages in a variety of settings: in a high school classroom, on my own with books, in a college classroom, and on my own with books and a native speaker to guide me. I have looked at other methods, such as Berlitz, Pimsleur, Rosetta Stone, and just the plain old web, but I'm enthusiastically happy about this.
As with all language learning, you have to keep trying and that means regular and frequent study. If you can only put ten minutes per week into the effort, then don't do this. Have a cocktail or watch TV. This method is focused on making you functional in several situations--if you're looking for grammar rules and verb conjugations, then this isn't for you. But if you want to learn and can spend the time building vocabulary, learning to correctly pronounce the words, and growing your understanding of how to speak or understand simple (at first) conversations, then Rocket Languages might be for you.
At first, I thought the conversations were a little simple and I was worried that the vocabulary would be too limited. But I'm impressed with how much I'm learning so far and I actually look forward to my study time each day.
Ciao!
I am just beginning this Italian course and I love it!
I am thoroughly satisfied so far even though I am in the raw first stages.
I enjoy the way it is presented and so far am happy with my results and knowledge - I'll keep you posted!
Kindest Regards

I tried to learn Italian multiple times over several years. Each time using products that taught vocabulary, but not really grammar or sentences. I like Rocket's approach of combining the different elements, and get you to speak as well. It really helps to learn the language.
I am enjoying learning Italian for my trip and it seems to make sense so far. Not sure of the customer service because I have not had to use it and cant choose stars based on use so I choose a one star. Sorry, hate fake stat boosting. I can say the search functionality is trash. I tried to search a simple word such as "Tomorrow" and it came up with no results. I have a feeling I will learn much and be happier than I would with Rosetta.
I tried 7 different language apps to learn Italian before I went to search on "best Italian language program app" on google and came across Rocket Language. After trying it for 3 days, I was convinced it is worth the investment. So far, I have been retaining most of what I learned with the different ways each module is presented through repeated sight, hearing, saying and writing. I am pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning another language.
The system, so far, seems good, though I dislike the way it's presented (e.g., the often "cute" wording and the constant exclamation points).
But I truly resent the constant spam from Rocket Languages that began the moment I paid, and that continue despite my making every attempt to unsubscribe.
And I hate the high-pressure sales technique and the "snake oil" methods of pushing the product. I was hard pressed to buy the program with how it was being marketed, and only the generally very favorable reviews, and the money-back guarantee, made me overlook the insulting marketing.
An email to Rocket explaining these opinions remains unanswered at writing.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Thomas - I am sorry that you have an issue with our marketing. In saying that, every email does have an unsubscribe link.
Terrible experience with the Rocket Languages. I have been struggling to find a motivation to keep studying but the boring experience that the platform gives you doesn't lead you anywhere. It's just a bunch of "repeat" this, "repeat "that" that you will be closing the browser before finishing the audio lesson. Not only that, the lack of explanation that the teachers give you and makes you need to find other places to learn it's absurd. If I knew this experience would go on, I would have chosen Google Translator instead. If I could come back, I wouldn't buy.
Response from Rocket Languages
Hi Vitor - Well, repetition is an integral part of language learning :) We try hard to keep our courses engaging and minimize the effort required through things liked spaced repetition to help with effective learning.
I have always been interested in Italian culture, and I thought while I am still young, I want to pursue my dream of speaking the language. I searched through the internet both on forums, reddit, youtube etc. and ended up purchasing all levels of the Italian course. I haven't been doing too many lessons, but so far satisfied with the courses. Especially the chemistry within the two teachers is entertaining :)
