Rocket Italian Reviews

First of all, I have to say that I was able to choose East Germany, which makes me happy.

And this course is really fun and I learned something in a very short time. Wow. Hopefully I can scrape together the money.

I really like the lessons and platform! One suggestion is, add videos of situational interactions to help with visual retention.

I love the program. I've been using another program for the last 8 months and there is no comparison. Rocket Italian provides grammatical explanations that are easy to understand and remember.

I have only just started but so far am impressed in contrast with other approaches.
I am very pleased to have a balance of styles and methods of teaching that really encourages one to move forwards and not get bored. the pace of the first few sessions seems about right to me.

For some reason, it works better in terms of mic/voice recognition using Chrome rather than Safari on my MAC, but that's not a major drawback.

It would be good to also have packaged with the product some Italian interlinear translations of modern literature in pdf and spoken (slowly) form ... say Harry Potter/ Alice in Wonderland / The name of the Rose.

I have also found that using a "Translate" app on my iPhone on a regular basis throughout the day to add an extra active dimension to learning the language and pronunciation.

All in all an initially great experience for a 60-year-old who isn't that great at learning languages.

Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Fun! Is that 50 characters? Fun!

I have enjoyed the Rocket learning platform! The way they have their lessons outlined, really helps me out. I like how I control what gets checked off as completed and learned so I know I can move forward. I also like how I can go back and review. Each day I go through 4 lessons and at the end of the week, I start a new one and complete one that I have been at for 3 weeks. For me repetition is the key! My wife and I plan on going back to visit family in Italy, in about a year, so I hope by then I will be able to understand and maybe respond a little bit more than the last time we were there.

I'm really enjoying the course so far. It's easy to follow and made a lot of fun by Maria and Alessandro.

Unfortunately, the lessons in Level 2 are not as well done as Level 1. There is little value in attempting to repeat long directions (as in Lesson 8.4). It would be much more helpful to have us repeat short directions: turn left, turn right, make a U turn, go straight ahead, for example. Or, better yet, put the English down (Go to this street, turn left onto that street, make a U turn, etc.) and have us translate it into Italian, with the correct Italian phrase afterwards.

Useful! Rocket Spanish and Rocket Italian is very good!

This seemed like an excellent way to learn Italian. I have now lived here, in Italy, for two years and it is definitely essential that I can understand ir!
