Rocket Italian Reviews

It's a good app I think I need to do more tho slow am getting better

something awesome about Rocket Languages here is that is a better learning online. This helped me learn Italiano better. Questo apprendimento online mi ha aiutato a imparare più italiano di me.

This platform is the best way to learn italian I have ever seen. Congratulations!!!

Waaaay too much garbage emails sent on a daily basis. Extremely annoying. Constant pestering to buy. Massively overpriced. Would not recommend.

The course is tremendous. I need to figure out why the voice recognition is not recognizing my "B" as in Bene and Buona. Can I do something within the program to have the speech recognition software learn my "B"? It's pretty standard.

Over the years, I have used Rosetta Stone, Babbel and now Rocket. Rocket is what I have been using to learn Italian as I used Rosetta Stone for Spanish mainly. There are things about this I like for learning but I feel this pushes too far toward memorization and not concept or forming sentences and mental recall. I have been doing the daily lesson for 3 straight weeks. I have a good bank of vocabulary, but I am struggling forming sentences for the most part. I will see this through Level 1 for sure and most likely 2, to see how effective it is. I felt more progress at this point through Rosetta stone and their style of learning, but I did it for 6 months daily. Time will tell for Rocket but I am going to go into with my mind open and following their method.

Ciao tutti a Rocket Italian! I have been enjoying the course for a couple of weeks now. It's really helping my listening and speaking skills. I like the way it's based on conversations - this is very useful. and I also find the grammar explanations very good.
I can't wait to try it all out on my next visit to Italy.
Grazie e a presto!

I think Rocket Languages is great! I love the way it integrates real life conversations with grammar in a way which makes language learning fun, interactive and productive. I also love how at the end of each lesson there is an option to practice the vocabulary using different modes (listening, writing, speaking). This not only allows you to memorise the words but practicing in this way also trains your ear to be able to write unknown Italian words without needing to be told how to spell them. I only started learning Italian about a month ago but I already feel like I've made so much progress and the great thing is I enjoy it too!

I have liked the program so far but here are my main criticisms:
First, the pacing. I wouldn't say I like having 5 audio lessons consecutively and then 5 language and culture lessons in a row. I prefer to have one audio and one language and culture lesson each time. I also wish these two types of lessons were more related and interconnected. they seem so disjointed and irrelevant right now.
I also wish that there was some sort of spaced repetition feature for reviewing previously learned vocabulary and materials. Therefore I have to manually make flashcards in another program (Anki) for this which is a little cumbersome than having them readily available.
I would like to see some new features for exercising the learned vocabulary and grammar instead of just repeating the limited number of sentences in each lesson and requiring the students to form and come up with new sentences.

Best language learning course I have used. I highly recommend this program to anyone trying to learn Italian.
