I received Rocket Italian as an xmas gift at my request after my old version of Rosetta Stone Italian became outdated and unusable. It has been a major disappointment and is so frustrating I've turned to the free version of Duolingo instead. All the cutesy little exchanges between "Alex" and "Maria" are infantile and a waste of time. So much time is wasted in these courses. It's hard enough to find time to study a foreign language without all this useless filler. Unfortunately between medical issues and Covid, I just recently started to use this software so I am beyond the 60 day return/refund window. I feel badly that my husband wasted all this money on this terrible app. Save your money and use Duolingo or if you want a real program go to Rosetta stone.

Hi Miki - The first level (featuring Alex and Maria) is a beginners level, so the amount of Italian introduced is gradual with lots of explanations in English. As you progress through the lessons/levels the amount of Italian gets greater and more advanced.
It is not very good at hearing what you say and my class really doesn't like it.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the voice recognition. If you're not already, we strongly recommend that you use a headset to record yourself. If you are using your inbuilt mic, then it's likely that it will be picking up lots of background noise, and affecting your results. All the best with your lessons!
Easily the worst language learning product on the market. Every lesson is set up to trick the student and set them up for failure. There are numerous mistakes in every lesson and when one of two options is the 'right' answer, the program is so lacking that it only shows one. This is basically a perfect course if you want to waste your money and learn virtually nothing. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE.

Loving it so far! I love building vocabulary and hearing the correct way to pronounce words.

Waaaay too much garbage emails sent on a daily basis. Extremely annoying. Constant pestering to buy. Massively overpriced. Would not recommend.
Response from Rocket Languages
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!
Unable to get the mic working. Tried for hours and no luck. Followed all the instructions for Chrome and Windows 11. It only worked sporadically.

Sorry to hear that, Murray. Inconsistent success with the voice recognition may suggest an external issue. Please contact our team at [email protected], and we'd be happy to jump on a call to investigate the problem further!
Lessons are slow and don't progress in an order that works when you are studying a language -- customer service is non responsive to requests to cancel membership
