Rocket Languages review criteria
A very well organised language course. I'm really enjoying the thorough and all round introduction to the Italian language and culture.
Overall this is a very good program.
*I compare this with DuoLingo online learning as well as a personal coach I use with Verbling. Also against Babble
which I used for 6 months.
*Price is kind of high but it is for a complete program so I'm neutral on this rating.
*Lessons are interesting. I could use less of the banter but still, very good content when focused on actual language
skills. Of great importance to me are the moderators speaking in a clear and moderate speed. Rocket delivers on
this!
* Now to my most concerning (to me) knock...Some of the exercises are terribly long in the Language and Cultural
sections. It's not uncommon to have 50, 60 or greater than 70 words, phrases or sentences to learn, memorize and
recite back. Personally, I get very frustrated when i fail due to sheer volume of material. Knowing how difficult and
frustrating these exercises are, I have to fight the urge to simply by-pass these sections. Reducing the volume within
Language and Cultural modules would be a huge plus for me.

Hi Fred - Thanks for the feedback! Regarding your point about the length of the lessons, we are currently reviewing all of the Language & Culture lessons, and the amount of phrases is one thing that we will be looking at. In saying that, having an abundance of phrases to learn is not a bad thing!
These lessons are so fun and I am enjoying learning a new language this way! I can't wait to get to Italy and be able to speak the language.
A big grazie to Maria and Alex for the easy going way of teaching! I like the length of each lesson, 15-20 min, so you can easily squeeze into your daily schedule. Like the Rocket review before each new lesson. The interactive web features are so helpful. I also like Maria teaching grammar bits & pieces, instead of long boring lecture. I am in lesson 1.4, just love Rocket!
Very happy with the quality of the tutors and the pace of teaching.
Waaaay too much garbage emails sent on a daily basis. Extremely annoying. Constant pestering to buy. Massively overpriced. Would not recommend.

We're sorry you feel that way, Stephen. We completely understand that our course will not always suit the preferences of every individual learner, but we firmly believe that the price reflects the comprehensive content and various lesson types crafted by experts in the Italian language. We wish you all the best with your language learning!
Overall seems like a good program, but when using the app or browser from the phone the audio recorder doesn't work.

Hi there; it looks like you have been using the Safari browser on your iPhone. While our courses work on Safari on a desktop computer, for an iPhone we recommend using the Rocket Languages iOS app.
the more i do it, the more i like it. I also like the format. Starting out slow, but gradually getting harder.
I signed up for Rocket to learn Italian, and learn it quickly. So far, so good! I appreciate the useful phrases as well as the approach to vocabulary. They use a mix of words that are both similar to as well as completely different to their English equivalent. I also like how they use repetition, without making it seem repetitious :) I feel like I am learning proper pronunciation, spelling and understanding with this program!

We are so happy to hear that your Italian is progressing quickly. Best of luck for your future Italian lessons!
I'm really satisfied and enjoying this course. It is helping me with pronunciations which can be very challenging.
