Rocket Languages review criteria
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!!
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.
Honestly, I really enjoy the interactive component of the course. It not only allows you to engage with the language and therefore better understand it, but most importantly, it gets you ready for the conversational aspect of any language. Furthermore, I particularly appreciated the audio lessons which explain the pronunciations, their rationales, and their connection to their english equivalents. Finally, the written exercises are particularly helpful to get one's written and not simply oral skills up to par.
The one deterrent I have from the program is it's cost. Being a student, I don't have a particularly high budget and with competing programs such as Duolingo, it might be hard to justify the purchase. That being said, the trial thus far has given me a taste of the real package that is Rocket Languages. It truly is comprehensive and well developed. I truly hope that completing the entire program does make one somewhat proficient in the language as it is quite an expense.
A final note has to be the aesthetics, design and appearance of the website. The site is polished, clean and well organized. It breads for a simple and user friendly experience. Very appealing and enticing to any user.
I am two months into the Rocket Italian course and I am so far very pleased with it. The website and apps are well designed, interesting to use and encourage you to stick with the course. The lessons are at the right length for me - I can get one done a day and it's the right amount of new vocabulary and grammar each lesson for me to then learn. I find learning online, on my computer, a flexible way to learn that means I am studying more than if I was using a teacher once or twice a week.
This is great. I have finished the first chapter and just started the second. The course moves at a good pace and I like how interactive it is and how it can record you speaking. The grammar and culture sections are brilliant and really help to instill the language learnt in the interactive lessons. I also like to understand how sentences are constructed as I find it hard to remember phrases without understanding them fully. I think these will also help me string sentences together from other vocabulary learnt later in the course. I am also relieved that the start of the second module is easier than the end of the first as I started to think I might have to slow down my pace but not so. Very fun lessons to do and easy to pick up at any time so I am more likely to stick at this than scheduled lessons.
I have tried a number of online language courses. I found Rocket Italian to be the best. What I like most about the Rocket method is the fact that most all of the lessons call for the student to participate in a dialog which can be repeated as many times as needed. To me, this seems to be a very vital part of learning a language. Additionally, the cultural studies go a long way in understanding how the average Italian thinks and forms sentences. I can't say enough about Rocket Languages.
What I particularly enjoy about this way of learning another language, is the way that old material can be accessed to provide revision and constant reminders of basics. Other courses that I have tried, do not offer this most important learning technique.
Really enjoying Rocket Italian. I have been to an Italian class for two years now but Rocket Italian is a great way to improve your pronunciation. The lessons are entertaining with a lot of useful phrases.The grammar modules are very good and there is a members forum to ask questions. A good course at a very good price.
I enjoyed the testing the most. So many options on how to learn the language. Saying it, Writing it, and Listening to it. Easy to follow lessons. The teachers are fun to listen to and engage you to really listen.
