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.
So far it is a great program. A lot of good exercises, and I like that you record yourself and can listen back. I can't wait to get more lessons finished.
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!
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!
It is a great program and i would recommend it so many times to people if they wanted to learn a language
Really great platform with so many modalities to learn Italian. Write, speak and flash cards. Very pleased with how easy Rocket makes it to learn a new language.
A very well organised language course. I'm really enjoying the thorough and all round introduction to the Italian language and culture.
As a military member currently station in Italy and actively using Rocket Italian, I must share that this program works at its best! The program is fun, enjoyable, and very efficient at breaking the lessons to it's learners. The work staff even in distance are very credible and happy to help when needed. After only a few months of learning, I'm able to order my own food, pay my bills, catch a train speaking nothing but Italian. Most importantly, I am able to communicate with my significant other and her family and this is just the beginning. Rocket Italian, highly recommended to those passing through Italy or simply wanting to catch a new language.
This version of Rocket Italian works for me better.
This course is an excellent supplement for a regular language course I'm taking. Rocket Language provides an opportunity for me to get lots of targeted pronunciation and speaking practice that's missing from the other course. Being able to record my voice and immediately compare it to that of a native speaker is tremendously helpful. It is improving my phonological processing, speaking speed, pronunciation, and listening comprehension. I access this course for free through my local library.
