Rocket Italian Reviews

It's all in all a nice way to learn a language, I'm currently in the trial for Italian and Japanese as those are the 2 languages that I am currently learning. It would be even better if the app would not always crash when trying to do the flashcards.

Besides that I am happy with what this program offers.

I highly recommend Rocket! This program is super engaging and covers all the bases of learning a new language. I'm just finishing up Level 1 of Rocket Italian and have already learned so much.

Although it took me a whole year to get into a habit of using it, I am finally practicing regularly and progressing faster (lockdown meant no more excuses!).

I realized after some time that the timezone was probably set by default to the USA and I couldn't understand why I kept losing my streak even though I was practicing daily. This was initially de-motivating until I discovered I could change my settings very easily and changed the country to New Zealand.

The exercises are well designed to cover the key language areas and I find the system helps cement vocabulary really well. More quiz questions per lesson would be welcome and maybe more diversity of exercise type!

I believe app learning is a good way to get initial exposure to a new language and get a basic foundation in order to sign up to a class with other humans or take a trip overseas. I am confident that after a year of regular Rocket Italian I might be able to go for a level assessment at a language institute and skip the basic levels. I'm very happy with my purchase - it was a good investment and is worth every cent.

I just started using the Rocket Language Italian course and I am extremely pleased so far. I've tried Pimsleur in the past - which I enjoyed but it lacked the cultural and grammatical explanations necessary for successful learning. In addition, the combination of the audio lessons and testing pages makes Rocket Language the most complete language learning tool I've tried. In addition to the actual course the customer service is wonderful. Specifically, Aeysha was extremely helpful when I was ordering the all three courses and answered all of questions.

This has been a very busy time for me so I have not been able to devote 1 hour a day consistently yet. I will try to now and hopefully will
regain more confidence in this language which I've loved and used in the past. ( But not for some years)
I would like time to write
on my own paper words ( and the phonetic pronunciation of them ) when learning conversation which will be useful. I think you're doing a great job at letting us hear the Italian speaker and also the American speaker use the Italian.

What I find is that when I stay with the part where I am doing a lot of speaking and have been for a good amount of time, that I start tripping
over the speech and have to stop because my mouth gets dry. I guess this just means to pace myself more.
Your program is great, and I will get to work with it right now!

Enjoy learning a new language and Rocket Languages makes it easy. You are able to learn on your own time and I would recommend this program to anyone wishing to learn a second language whether for pleasure or to further enhance their career.

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.

Rocket Italian is great! I've tried many other programs and prefer Rocket to them all. The mix of activities and resources just plain works for me. By the end of the first trial day I was hooked.

The best language program I've come across. It has everything: speaking, writing, listening, notes, grammar, culture and multiple tests to check whether the lesson is understood. Very complete. I have recommended it to several people.

I have only just started but so far am impressed in contrast with other approaches.
I am very pleased to have a balance of styles and methods of teaching that really encourages one to move forwards and not get bored. the pace of the first few sessions seems about right to me.

For some reason, it works better in terms of mic/voice recognition using Chrome rather than Safari on my MAC, but that's not a major drawback.

It would be good to also have packaged with the product some Italian interlinear translations of modern literature in pdf and spoken (slowly) form ... say Harry Potter/ Alice in Wonderland / The name of the Rose.

I have also found that using a "Translate" app on my iPhone on a regular basis throughout the day to add an extra active dimension to learning the language and pronunciation.

All in all an initially great experience for a 60-year-old who isn't that great at learning languages.
