Rocket Italian Reviews

I'm from Italy, born into a family that speaks Italian. My family raised me to speak English, and so I've never learned Italian. I've always been interested in my ancestry and wanted to learn more. Though my English isn't the best, and I know a lot of Italian, this site really helps me learn more of the language. I recommend it to anyone with the desire to learn the Italian language.

I like the way review is spiraled into several lessons, so the words really stick. I also like the multimodal practice with each lesson. I expected to have some difficulty picking up Italian after many years of not practicing any language except English, but I'm learning more quickly and remembering more thorougly than I thought I would. Tutto bravo!

While I am just starting, I like the way you hear the entire conversation, then play a role in speaking the part. The feedback is instantaneous, where you get to hear your dialogue and correct any mistakes. It forces me to concentrate so that I put the emphasis on the correct vowel. After the conversation part, you get flash cards to test your knowledge and then write the words in Italian. It's a great way to begin learning the Italian language.

I wanted to learn how to speak Italian because I was tired of listening to my wife and her family and not knowing exactly what they were saying. Of course they would always tell me what they had said but I always wanted to experience it first hand. I first ordered rosetta stone Italian but I wasn't pleased with their teaching method and returned immediately. I went on You tube to find reviews on a good italian program and came across a review for rocket Italian. The person who gave the review took into account a few courses but praised the rocket program over all of the ones mentioned. I then decided to order on the spot. I have not had the program for a week and have impressed my wife on how well I can read the conversation transcripts. I decided to read (in Italiano) to my father-in-law, who grew up in Italy, and he was extremely impressed with my pronounciation. THIS IS ONLY AFTER ONE WEEK!!! I try to practice every day and have my wife speak to me in italian to keep me sharp. I want to thank Rocket Languages for this opportunity to learn and reach my goal that I have set for myself. Thanks, I will keep you posted on my journey through the course.

I love love love this program, best online experience, despite my faulty internet connections (rural property!!!) Easy to make progress as we can repeat and listen to ourselves throughout each level...testing is reinforcing and being able to write, read and speak is perfect. Thank you.

I completed the trial of Rocket Italian and was suitably impressed to invest in the full course including levels 2 and 3. I really enjoy the lessons and have made more progress with this course than any other I have tried. I particularly like the ability to interact with the dialogue, the voice recognition, and the mobile app so that I can review/continue my lessons when on the move. Although I initially hesitated making a purchase because of the price, I rationalised the decision based on the fact that Rocket Language offered something better than learning from a book/CD audio course, and it's a lot cheaper and more convenient than attending classes or personal 1-1 lessons. I also realised that making the purchase confirmed how serious I was about wanting to learn Italian and sealed my commitment to doing it. In fact, given the quality of source material, and the ingenious use of tech, I regard my purchase as 'good value for money' and would certainly recommend Rocket Italian to others. There has clearly been a lot of work given to making this course as good as it is.

Like it so far :) Can go at my own pace and isn't overwhelming

English is my first language and I also know a lot of Spanish as a result of formal study and where I grew up. I’m trying to learn some Italian to prepare for an extended stay planned for fall 2019. I’m 62 and work full-time and was concerned I wouldn’t make time for this, but it’s starting to be easy as I familiarize myself with the system. It’s easy to turn something on while I’m excercising or on the way home from work and learn something new or review a prior lesson in fifteen minutes. I’m hoping for great things!

I am fully enjoying learning Italian with Rocket Languages. It's a program that is very thorough and easy to use. I have tried other programs in the past and would find them very boring. I am very happy I bought the program!

I am half Italian and Hispanic, I was adopted from South America and I never knew my native tongue which is Spanish. People have asked me if I am Italian and I always say I'm half....when in truth I look more Italian than Hispanic, I have always loved the Italian language and always wanted to learn, I helped my mom learn when she went to Italy last year and the basic words I picked up on quick, so, I had the itch to learn. Rocket Italian is amazing and I love it !!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Italian or any language. BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER !!!!
