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.

Brand new beginner. I have tried 3 other courses. Two were individuals via their own websites. The other was Duolingo. This the best so far. Much better subject presentation design via the multiple tasks to do per lesson. Also the website navigation is easy to learn. I have had a problem with speaking words, where a message says the system is busy. Otherwise quite happy with it so far.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thank you for your review, William. It's so good to hear how much you are enjoying the course and finding the presentation good and the website easy to navigate. We're sorry to hear about the issues with the voice recognition, please feel free to email us and we can help you out with this.

I love Rocket Languages! I got free access thru my library, so check if yours gives you free access - the price otherwise is too steep. The course, though, is worth it! Much better than the likes of Duolingo/Rosetta Stone/etc. I tried them all and only Rocket Italian met my expectations. It gives you 10x what you put into it - trust me.

Response from Rocket Languages

We're thrilled to hear that Rocket Italian has met your expectations. Welcome to our community of passionate language learners; we're eager to see where your Italian language skills will take you!

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.

So far so good, although I'm in the beginning and it goes slow.
It's difficult to connect the words to meaning, so I have some difficulty. Maybe lacking some images.
But I like and would recommend.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thanks for the suggestions, Søren! We know that it can be tricky to remember the meaning of words to begin with. But don't worry; the more you practice, the easier it will get, and we're here to help you every step of the way!
