I am almost 75 years old and it's a long time since I did any study, but I'm finding this programme stimulating and user friendly. It is a good balance between the written and spoken word and combining it with little cultural snippets makes it more interesting and brings some reality into the learning. I would recommend it to anyone at any level.

Before starting with Rocket, I had done another software-based course, which was a good foundation from the point of view of grammar, etc. I had got as far as I could with that and Rocket has proved to be the best way for me to continue and expand my knowledge of Italian. I especially like having the facility of recording my own voice to compare with the proper pronunciation; also having the app on my phone is very useful, especially when I am on the train. I have recommended it to other people, and would continue to do so.

The program--either on desktop or tablet, often does not record my voice, and thus does not record portions of lessons. This is not getting better. Until Rocked Languages can improve its server, I'd advise avoiding the program.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Tim - We recommend using a headset microphone if you are on desktop. If you are using a tablet then we would recommend using the appropriate Android or iOS app. Please let customer support know if these suggestions don't fix the issue!

I researched several language courses and decided on Rocket Languages. I tried the trial offer and the price was very reasonable, so I purchased all three levels. I must say that I have truly enjoyed my first two months of Rocket Italian.

The program keeps me motivated which I believe is very important. If I ever try to learn another language I would definitely buy Rocket Language and I would highly recommend it to friends.

Compared to the French and Spanish language that I have learned years back, then the Italian language grammar Is easy, to understand and follow. To have my fantastic two teachers to pronounce all the words and the grammar in a way that makes the essence of the words and grammar sinks in, so that I can remember the words and sentences, has given me a fantastic start, and I have therefore decided to by all three levels of Italian at ones.

Works great, and fun. Only problem is that Hear it Say it stops working after a few lines. Otherwise seems very effective, can work while driving, lunch breaks etc. Before it was always hard to find quiet time to work on languages. Keep working on android!

Rocket Italian is great! I believe there is one mistake in lesion 5.7 The section heading past perfect tense is actually the present perfect tense. Thus far I am really enjoying this course. It is a great way to learn Italian, the language of all my grandparents whom were born in the area around Torino. My wife and I enjoy Italy. She is impressed that I can use my Italian there.

I like the approach especially since it has been updated and revised. I took about 2 mos off for travel in Italy. The early lessons and practice using through Rocket Italian was very helpful and added a lot of enjoyment to the trip.

Rocket Italian was my first Rocket Language. I had always found Italian a beautiful language, yet had never made the time to learn it in a class. It's been a while since college, and I feel that Rocket Languages has given me the opportunity to fulfil this lifelong goal. For a language that I have pursued wholly independently, I feel energized by doing the lessons at the end of the work day. The characters within it are fun, and the scenarios from getting parking tickets to going to the opera are varied parts of life and travel. It's not real travel, but it is escapist with a balance of education. Unlike another online program I use, I direct which exercises I want to do when, which is a matter of preference, but as an adult, I like to navigate my own learning. Love the Leaderboard, and the unpredictably occurring badges, as well as the printable Module Certificates.

I like that so much of the exercises use audio. Too many language teachers end up teaching how to read a language, but put very little emphasis on speaking and comprehension. I also really like the dictation exercises, mostly because they give me practice in comprehension of spoken Spanish.
