Rocket Italian Reviews

Very comprehensive for a beginner with different forms of learning and the IT side works very well
Nice explanations

I've tried two other popular language learning problems.....but always was so disappointed...I'm extremely ADD and they just didn't work with me....however, Rocket rules....I'm so happy with this program and I am actually remembering what I learned....for a person who always struggled with learning, this has been wonderful.

It's all in all a nice way to learn a language, I'm currently in the trial for Italian and Japanese as those are the 2 languages that I am currently learning. It would be even better if the app would not always crash when trying to do the flashcards.

Besides that I am happy with what this program offers.

Overall seems like a good program, but when using the app or browser from the phone the audio recorder doesn't work.

Rocket Italian is the best application for learning Italian; great dialogue and practice exercises reinforce learning in an enjoyable format

I am half Italian and Hispanic, I was adopted from South America and I never knew my native tongue which is Spanish. People have asked me if I am Italian and I always say I'm half....when in truth I look more Italian than Hispanic, I have always loved the Italian language and always wanted to learn, I helped my mom learn when she went to Italy last year and the basic words I picked up on quick, so, I had the itch to learn. Rocket Italian is amazing and I love it !!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Italian or any language. BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER !!!!

So far, so good. I have been using Duolingo, and it was good. But, I needed a change and a different method. My difficulties come with syntax and verb conjugation

I am using Rocket Italian as a review to the Italian I studied "Molti anni fa" in college so that I can be more fluent and approachable when I travel. I like the pace and the ability to skip around. However, the American accent of Alex is distracting and there is too much spoken English. I can see if a beginner is trying to get traction it might be okay. I am looking forward to moving up into the later levels. Overall, hearing so much English and the English accent is distracting. There are also some grammar errors in the translations along the way. For the price, I would expect more flawless execution. However overall, I like the conversational approach and the ability to hop around to get what I need to progress.

Rocket's multimodal learning formula works very well: listen, respond orally, respond in writing, translate both ways. This really hammers the language into your cortex via all channels. The voice recognition software, while not always perfect, is a remarkably useful feature. The help desk, finally, responds courteously to my comments.

My only wish is that the Rocket Italian team might themselves work very slowly and carefully through the whole course, seeking every occasion where a question and its corresponding answer does not match, and in general where the question is not sufficiently defined (number, gender etc.) to point unambiguously at the answer expected by the software. None of these glitches greatly reduces the effectiveness of the course, but their frequent occurrence is irritating and, to that extent, distracting.

Your subscribers could alert you to these glitches if a 'report problem' was attached to every event, not just some, where the subscriber must speak, write or press a button.

I just completed the beginner trial and will definitely pay for the service. I've tried other online sources to learn Italian but did not stick with any of them. When I reached the end of the lesson for today I couldn't believe I had been at it for a couple of hours. It kept my attention! Here is a hint if you don't have anyone to practice with: I have Amazon Alexa Show and I can ask her how to say anything in Italian and I will hear and see it on the screen so I can practice what I learn throughout the day or evening. When I learn more I can change Alexa to respond in Italian to me. Great way to use time during this CV 19 pause in life.
