Rocket Italian Reviews

Great program! Easy to use on a laptop and mobile devise! Learn a language on the go then come home and hammer it down with the additional exercises . The customer service is prompt with fixing any bugs and they genuinely care about your success with their program. I highly recommend this product!

I have been using RI for about 4 months after trying Rosetta stone (very boring) and Pimsleur (good but not quite what I wanted). I found that using RI I have a better comprehension especially when you use the extra lessons where you write and take some tests. Seeing, hearing and writing have made a big difference.

For the most part, I do like the course. It is an easy and enjoyable way to learn. I am taking the Italian course.

My only MINOR COMPLAINT SO FAR is the specificity of some of the lessons. In Module 3 of the Premium Basic Course, the first 2 lessons are waaaay too narrowly focused. The first concerns a trip to Mount Vesuvius with conversation about walking around the volcano's crater and how cold it will be on the summit(!) - a dialogue I really can't imagine most ordinary travelers having much need for, and the second deals with a certain Italian liquor called Limoncello. I skipped the bulk of the conversation portion of those lessons, except for a phrase or two. The extra vocabulary sections also had some benefit.

Now I understand that sprinkling a little culture, geography, and traditional customs is an attempt to broaden the course's appeal, but I'd personally find the lessons much more useful if they conveyed more common everyday requests and conversations. For example: asking where to buy a newspaper, rent/park a car, ordering a beer/glass of wine/soda and leaving a tip, chatting about the weather or someone's family, or complimenting/discussing another's clothes, jewelry, home, etc.

Perhaps that's just me, though. However, up until those 2 lessons, I felt what I was learning had broader adaptability and usefulness.

Being a Brazilian Portuguese native speaker, I was sure Italian would come easy for me (it is all Latin after all!). However, I couldn't imagine how glad I would be for this course. Rocket Italian offers a well structured method, balancing repetition and new lessons. The tools work perfectly, the audios are nice and clear, and the Forum is quite helpful. I am preparing to take an Italian Certificate in the future, and I know already this course saved me a lot of time and money on the way there.

This is the best purchase I could've made, the classes are very entertaining. they don't feel repetitive because you get fun facts and little stories and culture lessons that make every class unique, besides that the information they provide is very clear, I would like to have an option to repeat the hardest phrases of every module at once, but that would be a plus, I strongly recommend this course, this is my third language what makes things easier but as someone who's already learned a language apart from the one I was taught as a kid I think this is a great option for beginners.

Your content is perfect for learning. Great writing and easy to understand.

So far, I am just starting but I am really loving the course. It is easy for me to engage and understand.

i study italian very well..but as we live in iran ,it is not possible for me to buy courses and i'm so sad about this problem..

Very interactive course. Precise and complete, unlike other courses has a lot of grammar.

I’m learning new words at a pace very comfortably.
