Rocket Italian Reviews

I am very happy with the lesson. The audio part is excellent because it allow you to speak instantly. I am very please with the lesson and i would recommend any one wanting to learn the luggage to join. you want regret it. The beauty with it is you can download and lesson to it at any time you wish.

I just completed the beginner trial and will definitely pay for the service. I've tried other online sources to learn Italian but did not stick with any of them. When I reached the end of the lesson for today I couldn't believe I had been at it for a couple of hours. It kept my attention! Here is a hint if you don't have anyone to practice with: I have Amazon Alexa Show and I can ask her how to say anything in Italian and I will hear and see it on the screen so I can practice what I learn throughout the day or evening. When I learn more I can change Alexa to respond in Italian to me. Great way to use time during this CV 19 pause in life.

This is the best online platform to learn a language in my very honest opinion. Tried different stuff that is good too but not as complete as Rocket Languages.

great course, the best language course i ever did online in my life, very good tools e ways of learning very up to date, certanly i will subscribe for other languages in the near future! congratulations to all rocket languages team

A gripe actually. In most of the listening exercises the male speaker does not speak clearly. Even when I reveal the correct word/phrase, I still cannot hear it clearly. I often just skip past any male speaker parts.

The Rocket Italian Premium level is great for learning basic travel phrases. The voice recognition software works very well and if you use all the tools they provide for you regularly you'll definitely feel comfortable pulling out Italian phrases when you need them. I do like to listen to the audio lessons several times though. Also I with there was more variety in the testing and practice. An exercise where the student is given a completely new sentence that they have to give back in Italian would be really helpful.

It is a usefull language learning system, I especially like the MP3 files, however I have spotted a few problems with the website, these are: Unit = 2.11 the website says metro = Underground however it Should be = metro = meter & Underground = metropolitan Its ok to put in names & so not translate them - But not ok to say a name is a translation when it is not. Unit = 2.12 the website says Lavoro manuale = Labor however it Should be = Lavoro manuale = manual work & Lavoro = Labor Unit = 2.13 the website says Quant'è? = How much does it come to? however it Should be = Quant'è? = How much? & venuto a = come to Unit = 3.4 the website says Abbastanza = Fairly bad. however it Should be = male = bad Unit = 3.4 the website says Allora riposa e cerca di dormire. = Ok then, have a rest and try to sleep. however it Should be = Ok then, have a rest = Ok allora, avere un periodo di riposo Unit = 3.7 the Problem is English words on wrong (italian) side for: ham, cabbage & she arranges Unit = 3.7 the Problem is all più words have extra letters in them = più Unit = 3.7 the Problem is ' is confusing in It's hotter (more hot) today than yesterday.

This is a great course. I like the options for review, with listening, writing, flashcards, and voice recognition it is a comprehensive program. I'm only a week in, but I can see myself sticking with this.

I wish there was an option where I could select multiple flashcards to review. I'd love to have a way to select boxes for lessons 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and either "all cards" or those "marked for review." This would allow me to review multiple lessons at once, and stay on top of all previous lessons without having to open each lesson individually. I have found my learning style is really helped by using flashcards. This is an ease-of-use issue, but in total, the program is great.

I studied Spanish and Portuguese up to B2 level many years ago and I have school French so Romance languages are not new to me nor is language learning as an adult.

I started with this course as a beginner in Italian 6 months ago. I am now completing the final Platinum stage of the course. I reckon that I am now at level B1 or lower B2 in the Common European Framework language classification.

What I like about Rocket Italian: The interactive pronunciation check using the Chrome browser; practical and useful conversation topics from the start; variety of practise in each exercise, repetition, writing, translation English to Italian and repetition of the dialogue. The point scoring system which helps maintain motivation

What I do not like: Lack of attention to detail in course material particularly towards the end of each level with mistranslations, and other mistakes. When you point out the mistakes in the feedback they are corrected but it is as if they rely on their students to proof read the course. Too much English spoken in the more advanced lessons. Odd choice of what grammar points to explain. (In some lessons simple and obvious points were explained while more complex grammar items were not.

I enjoy the conversations that Rocket Italian is based on, but as a language instructor that uses strictly immersion techniques, I can't stand the amount of English that is in each lesson. There is SO much room for additional vocab that could be taught through the use of more exclusive Italian. It makes me frustrated to waste so much time on English banter. I am really struggling to make use of this course.
