I have just started learning Italian with Rocket Languages. So far it is the best language course out of all courses I tried before. Very well structured! And one if the best things about it is keeping everything in one app on my mobile. Thank you!

I like the fluidity of the lessons, and the themes you try, because they are regarding to the every day life. But I would like also that you include the audio file for the cultural revisions and conjugations

The Software is very interactive and the instructors use clear pronunciation, which can be a problem in the competitors products. Personally I listen to one or two lessons a day on my way to class, but I also repeat the same lessons on the way back. This style is a little more time consuming, but I've noticed my retention of the phrases and ability to understand the dialogue has been increased drastically.

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.

I received Rocket Italian as an xmas gift at my request after my old version of Rosetta Stone Italian became outdated and unusable.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.

Response from Rocket Languages

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.

Enjoying Rocket Italian. The flow of the lessons is good. Both the website and the iOS apps are quite good. There are some minor usability issues worth noting. 1. I can't find a way to speed up the recorded lessons which would be helpful for me as I have some background in the language so the early lessons could be moved through faster. 2. The flow of the testing on the web pages is a little confusing. Not clear when you've finished a section and when you haven't. As such, the badges don't appear as completed when I think I have done so. All that being said, I'm learning a lot and enjoying the product. Glad I bought it.

Great for gaining some confidence with spoken Italian at both slow, learning speed, and then the real machine-gun speed that Italians actually speak at. Grammar feeds in fairly painlessly. I also like reading the dialogue as it is spoken.

I really like the fact that I can download the lessons to my iPod and listen in my car. I have a long commute and it makes me productive during time that I would normally be stuck in traffic. I would like to visit Italy in a couple of years. I have always thought that Italian was nice to listen to even if I didn't know what was being said. I am glad now to be able to say a few things and I am starting to understand more.

RL is a far better teacher of how to actually communicate in Italian than Rosetta Stone. RS is great for vocabulary but overall is less practical. I studied on RS for 4 months before going to Italy last spring. This year I'll be better prepared.
