I've only been using the course for three days now, but so far the lessons have been interesting and engaging. I find it a plus that there is a native speaker who speaks clearly and slowly and is easy to understand, even with the accent. I am mildly concerned about not learning a variety of vocabulary but as I have literally just started the program, I'll reserve judgement.

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'd like to start with a statement, that this is a very subjective opinion. I have been active user of Rocket Italian for some 4 months. At the same time I was (also very actively) using another programs, like Duolinguo, Memrise, RosettaStone and various on-line Italian podcasts and learning programs "on the fly", both on PC and on a mobile devices (mainly smartphone) - News in Slow Italian, Learn Italian etc. Having such a broad experience I can say, that Rocket Italian is a very useful and efficient way of learning Italian. What I wanted most is to avoid direct comparisons between various platforms, especially because such comparisons are not reasonable. Probably there is not a single universal platform for everybody, and there seems to be no "one fits all" philosophy, at least when it comes to programs facilitating language learning. Every platform is oriented slightly differently, and possibly is optimal for different types of learners (visual, audio, kinetic, mixed etc), wanting to learn different skills first/most (grammar, vocabulary, speaking, etc.). But taking into consideration all this things I can say honestly, that Rocket Italian is OPTIMAL FOR ME.

I love this course, it is very interactive and the creators were very creative and intelligent because they apply the constructivist theory, thus making whoever takes the course more interested.

I love learning Italian on Rocket language. The more I practice it the more better I become. For me rocket language is the best app to help learn languages.

This course is the first I've tried with the voice recognition feature and I greatly appreciate its ability to help me with speaking out loud, both in my pronunciation and level of confidence. I had studied Italian for a few years and had a good understanding of basic grammar and possessed a decent vocabulary, but never mastered the speaking without feeling a bit self-conscious.

I chose to start Rocket Italian at Level 1 and enjoyed the material. I'm on to Level 2 and intend to eventually do Level 3 as well. So far this has been a very positive experience and am glad I chose Rocket Languages.

Great package. I am learning Italian. I enjoy having the grammatical element as well as the everyday speech. Repetition with the various activity sessions are very helpful. Being able to return time and time again if necessary to reinforce the memory!!

Well, I've just started learning Italian through the Rocket Italian website. I'd spent some time looking for an online course, and this one seemed to receive the best reviews. I was so impressed by the trial, I've decided to subscribe to the course. I've tried to learn Italian in the past but had a few false starts. What I like about the site is its design and ease of use. Careful thought has gone into how each lesson is structured, and how each module makes you feel that you're really learning. Each lesson exercises really force your brain to remember what you've learned. I've already recommended Rocket to a few friends and would advise anyone to take a look. I'm planning on completing the course a lesson per day, then buying the French course when complete.

I've been using Rocket Italian since December 2019. I purchased Levels 1, 2, & 3-Instant Lifetime Access and the Travelogue. (Yes, I am committed to learn Italian.) I am on Unit I- module 6. In addition to Rocket, I use 2 other Apps/programs along with Rocket Italian. After 3/12 months of use, I feel I can write an accurate review.
Pros
1. I love the structured lessons
2. Like having the audios of Alex and Maria (audio lessons and reviews)
3. Like having the ability to record myself and mimic pronunciation

Cons (or possible areas to improve)
1. I wish there was a way to manipulate and build sentences rather than solely memorizing. (Maybe this happens in later units, I don't know.)
2. I wish that in lessons, such as in Language and Culture, where they may be over 90 terms to learn, that the lesson be divided in smaller lessons. Memorizing close to 100 terms is overwhelming and a big challenge. Maybe limiting the terms to a more manageable number would be beneficial to the learner.
3. I wish there was a method to answer questions on a lesson directly on the lesson page itself rather than on the forum. Also, I would appreciate if someone from Rocket could answer those questions rather than relying mostly other learners.
4.

Response from Rocket Languages

Thanks for the detailed review Laura! I thought that I would comment on the cons; 1. Play it! is the best tool for this at the moment. We are looking into other tools to achieve this. 2. Rocket Italian is due for a total review later this year. At that stage the amount of phrases per lesson will be addressed. We know it's an issue and have been working at how to make it less of a slog yet maintain the comprehensiveness. 3. Great idea. I will look into this. 4. We used to have this as an extra paid feature but it was difficult to manage as it requires a lot more human resources to be able to do it.
