Love it, love it, love it. I have done Rossetta Stone and Duolingo. Of course, I did learn a lot with them but I like this method better. You not only learn the language but about the culture. I just hope I have a discount when I want to learn other languages. I know a little of French and want to improve. Doing Italian right now. After French I want to do Portughese.

absolutely awesome...progressive with tons of review...native speakers and conversation that is relevant and grammar and sentence structure. I would love it there were also most common (2000?) vocabulary building lists to use. i am using other resources for that as i also want to start building vocabulary. The more words you know the better...not just introductory conversation.

I had never studied Italian before, but after two trips to Italy, I decided I wanted to be able to read and converse in Italian for my next trip. I started knowing essentially zero words, and was concerned about being able to pronounce words correctly. The audio dialogs and additional lessons make it easy to replay a word or phrase and keep practicing until it becomes easy. Then you can check your pronunciation using the.microphone. How cool is that? The content of the lessons is real life situations so the lessons are so useful to a traveler. Maria has very clear enunciation . She speaks carefully and clearly. That makes learning the word pronunciation easier. There is some humor in the lessons too. I find it fun and engaging. The say it, write it, quizzes, know it and flash cards are great tools to reinforce the learning and find those portions that need additional study. Then the certification tests at the end are a useful assessment of your progress. Rocket Languages are well done, fun, and thorough and the price is quite reasonable. I would recommend these courses to any language learner.

English is my first language and I also know a lot of Spanish as a result of formal study and where I grew up. I’m trying to learn some Italian to prepare for an extended stay planned for fall 2019. I’m 62 and work full-time and was concerned I wouldn’t make time for this, but it’s starting to be easy as I familiarize myself with the system. It’s easy to turn something on while I’m excercising or on the way home from work and learn something new or review a prior lesson in fifteen minutes. I’m hoping for great things!

Very good format in general. However a few recordings are distorted and difficult to hear and a small number have volume variations.
The tools facility is very good. The flash cards sometimes remain blank until you press reveal,
On the benchmark test the word to be spoken sometimes does not appear and therefore defeats the purpose of the test.
Rocket Languages is a very good program overall. I have only recently started using it but am finding it a very good way to learn a language. There are several different ways to use the program to learn like writing, pronunciation, flashcards etc

It's great. I would like to see something in Rocket Languages to drive a logical conversation (live person or AI) where user needs to respond to questions but without assistance and the program would validate the response (either written or audio

I enjoy the conversations that Rocket Italian is based on, but as a language instructor that uses strictly immersion techniques, I can't stand the amount of English that is in each lesson. There is SO much room for additional vocab that could be taught through the use of more exclusive Italian. It makes me frustrated to waste so much time on English banter. I am really struggling to make use of this course.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Megan - Thanks for your review. There is undoubtedly a lot of explanation in Level 1 of Rocket Italian. If the material is too easy then we would swap you out to a higher level that has much less English in it!

I'm not great with languages and have smattering of both French and, to a greater degree, Spanish so wasn't sure then Italian would stick. I'll admit that I am listening to each lesson several times, but after only 10 days, I am finding that my first recall is in Italian and not another romance language. The voices are very pleasant and friendly and the lessons are relevant to travel. We (a 51 year old woman and 15 year old boy) are very happy, so far, with our Rocket Italian lessons.
