Rocket Languages review criteria
A good way to learn some basic language skills that can assist with getting around a foreign country.
Overall this is a very good program.
*I compare this with DuoLingo online learning as well as a personal coach I use with Verbling. Also against Babble
which I used for 6 months.
*Price is kind of high but it is for a complete program so I'm neutral on this rating.
*Lessons are interesting. I could use less of the banter but still, very good content when focused on actual language
skills. Of great importance to me are the moderators speaking in a clear and moderate speed. Rocket delivers on
this!
* Now to my most concerning (to me) knock...Some of the exercises are terribly long in the Language and Cultural
sections. It's not uncommon to have 50, 60 or greater than 70 words, phrases or sentences to learn, memorize and
recite back. Personally, I get very frustrated when i fail due to sheer volume of material. Knowing how difficult and
frustrating these exercises are, I have to fight the urge to simply by-pass these sections. Reducing the volume within
Language and Cultural modules would be a huge plus for me.

Hi Fred - Thanks for the feedback! Regarding your point about the length of the lessons, we are currently reviewing all of the Language & Culture lessons, and the amount of phrases is one thing that we will be looking at. In saying that, having an abundance of phrases to learn is not a bad thing!
I am enjoying my Rocket Italian course. The lessons are well structured with useful information on some Italian verbs.
I like the fact the lessons are spoken at a slow speed before we hear the Italian spoken at a normal speed . plenty of opportunity to test your own pronunciation .
Keep up the good work !
Thank you
I received Rocket Italian as an xmas gift at my request after my old version of Rosetta Stone Italian became outdated and unusable. It has been a major disappointment and is so frustrating I've turned to the free version of Duolingo instead. All the cutesy little exchanges between "Alex" and "Maria" are infantile and a waste of time. So much time is wasted in these courses. It's hard enough to find time to study a foreign language without all this useless filler. Unfortunately between medical issues and Covid, I just recently started to use this software so I am beyond the 60 day return/refund window. I feel badly that my husband wasted all this money on this terrible app. Save your money and use Duolingo or if you want a real program go to Rosetta stone.

Hi Miki - The first level (featuring Alex and Maria) is a beginners level, so the amount of Italian introduced is gradual with lots of explanations in English. As you progress through the lessons/levels the amount of Italian gets greater and more advanced.
I find Alessando’s dumbing down side comments unnecessary and interrupts concentration. Childish, tedious and unprofessional. Thank you.
Cannot say I am a motivated studier, especially in regards to new languages. I tried the competition's software and their immersion learning left me lost and confused. With Rocket Language I am starting out learning useful words and phrases and not stuck guessing how the word I am supposed to learn matches the picture as with the competition's software. The competitors version doesn't give me the English translation so I can solidify what I am learning. Hate that!
You know, I've been studying italian with rocket italian for just 30 min approx. And I love it! It's awesome. Well done.
It is a great program and i would recommend it so many times to people if they wanted to learn a language
Pienso que tanto si quieres mejorar tu ingles, como aprender italiano, esta aplicacion es excelente porque aprendes con el metodo natural, primero oyes, luego repites y por ultimo escribes, al tiempo que memorizas todo!!! Es espectacular!!! Muchas gracias!
I found the Rocket language price expensive, but got an awesome deal on the Labour day Special including level 2 and 3. Was absolutely thrilled. In retrospect the course is not expensive, as there is so much content and amazing explanations.
I also love the audio lessons. The conversations that are broken down bit by bit. Looking at a whole lesson or even a sentence is overwhelming, but when broken into bits by the tutors, makes it so much easier.
A great product and it comes highly recommended. Have used and tried other courses and found them tedious and highly repetitive.
Decided last year to take a language seriously due to being isolated during Covid19. Decided to use Rocket Italian, and it has made a huge difference to my mental health. Keeps me focused and motivated. Makes me feel connected in some way. Enjoy the dialogue exercises between Alessandro and Maria. Has made a big difference to my day to day routine.
