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!
So far, Rocket Italian has been wonderful. I love the mix of interactive audio lessons and the Language & Culture lessons. It gives me the opportunity to learn both by immersing myself in real phrases AND by getting into the grammar and vocabulary. I like that I'm tasked with listening, speaking, reading and writing, and I combine it with my own note-taking and studying to really cement my learning.
The voices of Maria and Alessandro in Rocket Italian are excellent. The voices imported from (I assume) Google Translate are at times incomprehensible (muffled or blurry). I've started using Google Translate directly on another tab to overcome these difficulties. Your IT people might want to explore the issue. Otherwise, the structure of the course fits my learning style and I am making steady progress. The audio criticism is not a deal breaker. I would recommend Rocket Italian to others.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks so much for your review. We have emailed you directly for some examples of the audio that sounds muffled - as mentioned, all audio is recorded and edited in our studio, and we are having trouble replicating the issue. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
very good and easy to follow and learn. I love the way we can talked in the different dialogs and we can hear the way we talk. Nice course
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.
Great way to learn a new language! The pace is very approachable and the instructors do a great job of showing you a slow pace and natural pace.
I am impressed with the amount of content I quickly picking up! However, I just wish there was a way I could practice my conversation skills, directly.
Only other feature I wish was included was some sort of podcast/media content that you could just listen to on commutes. No need for testing/flashcards from it, but just additional "listening time" about culture and specific grammar mistakes.
Early days yet. I can read Italian, more-or-less, because I learned Latin up to A-Level and speak reasonable French and basic Spanish. But the Rocket course, so far, looks like what I need if we're going to fulfill our ambition of renting an apartment in Venice for two or three months in 2022. You can't just go and live in another country on the basis that you'll shout at the locals in English.
As to the star ratings, however, there should be a category for 'Not applicable'. Having bought Rocket Italian I don't need to buy it again and I haven't yet had need of customer service - so I'm giving those one star.
