I'm very new to Rocket (only a few lessons in). I love the idea, and almost all the execution, think it's a great design - well-organized, relevant conversational topics, practical for likely real-life situations, and there's lots of opportunity to practice (recording, writing, quizzes, etc).
Overall happy!
I have to say though that having to listen to one of the 2 two teachers for the course speak Italian with a really strong American accent is super-annoying. I don't want to hear that, it's not helpful. (I have a hard time imagining what Rocket could have even been thinking there...)
All that said, I'm still glad to have it. I'm going to Rome in 4 mo for the first time, and I feel like this will give me a great foundation for very basic interactions, which always feels good.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks so much for your review and feedback - it's much appreciated. We wanted to let you know that our level 2 and 3 courses, plus the Travelogue lessons, include only native speakers speaking Italian. We are hoping to update Level 1 at some point, as well, with a native speaker. I hope that helps. Have a great trip to Rome!
I love the software. Very well done both technically and content-wise.
A superb way of learning a language. Works for any type of learner. With a bit of dedication you can see the gains
Fast and easy way to learn. Best online course in Italian I've ever tried.
Learning activities do cater for students who are keen to speak Italian. The phrases are are easy to follow to see how grammatical parts fit together . Which helps in phrasing when reading, memorisation, recall and substituting words in the phrases.
I'm getting there slowly and enjoying the process.
I like the lessons. The only downside is that I like to do lessons on a device -- specifically, a waterproof iPod while I do cardio in the pool for an hour -- not on my computer or phone. Unfortunately, with your program, I have to download one lesson at a time, rather than download all the lessons at once so I can put them into a file and transfer them to my device. That's the reason I would not purchase from you again. If there is a work around that would allow me to do a single download, like I can with Pimsleur, I would definitely buy from you again.
Excellent course for learning Italian as my 3rd romance language with Spanish being my best. I do not think there could be a better way to learn the basics. Practice, practice, practice and then find someone to practice with!
The most in-depth Italian learning course I've ever tried! The grammar lessons are incredibly excellent. I'm the kind of person who must know how a language works to understand it; this course does a fantastic job teaching exactly how each part of the language functions.
Rocket Italian is great to learn a new language. I completed the very first module and even only finishing the first module helped drastically in terms of my Italian. The reciting activities and reviewing features in each lesson helped me recognise and remember the older vocabularies I learnt. My pronunciation improved although I am still working on rolling my 'r' pronunciation.
What I particularly enjoy about this way of learning another language, is the way that old material can be accessed to provide revision and constant reminders of basics. Other courses that I have tried, do not offer this most important learning technique.
