I have only just started but so far am impressed in contrast with other approaches.
I am very pleased to have a balance of styles and methods of teaching that really encourages one to move forwards and not get bored. the pace of the first few sessions seems about right to me.
For some reason, it works better in terms of mic/voice recognition using Chrome rather than Safari on my MAC, but that's not a major drawback.
It would be good to also have packaged with the product some Italian interlinear translations of modern literature in pdf and spoken (slowly) form ... say Harry Potter/ Alice in Wonderland / The name of the Rose.
I have also found that using a "Translate" app on my iPhone on a regular basis throughout the day to add an extra active dimension to learning the language and pronunciation.
All in all an initially great experience for a 60-year-old who isn't that great at learning languages.
The lessons are very good, the conversations flashcards that let us memorize the words it is very good well made, too bad I can't afford for more courses/
I only use the web interface. I'm not a fan of apps on my phone. The web interface mostly works but the microphone interface throws error messages and hasn't worked since day 1. I've also had issues with leaving notes and trying to use the contact form. I've tried both Safari and Brave browsers with the same results on both.
Support has be lackluster. I also tried to call the phone # from the website and got an error from Verizon that the call couldn't be completed as dialed. This has happened multiple times.

Hi Stephen - Thanks for your feedback. I will check into why you have had trouble reaching us. In the meantime, I will email you directly to see what we can do.
Generally the best language software I have found, but I have two gripes:
1. the level 2 courses have identical dialogue in Italian and French, which makes them so much more boring the second time around
2. There is no reduction in the quantity of english as the level increases. The program should phase out the use of English through level 2 and it should be almost entirely absent in level 3 in my opinion. For this reason I will not buy another level 3 course.

Hi Tim - Thanks for the review. The Italian and French Interactive Audio lesson conversations courses are similar but not identical. The Italian/French gets more complicated as you go up the levels. Also, the Language & Culture lessons for Levels 2 & 3 are about to be fully revamped within the next 2 months.
I love the program. I've been using another program for the last 8 months and there is no comparison. Rocket Italian provides grammatical explanations that are easy to understand and remember.
Super! Toll! Ich liebe sprechen zu lernen. Es freues mich die Kurs ist interaktiv! Ich ubunge jedes Tag!
Love it! My only concern is the speaker for feedback on enunciation frequently does not work.

Hi Rhonda - We have had no other feedback about there being a problem with the voice recognition. Please check the FAQs to resolve issues around the voice recognition system. If that doesn't work, then please contact customer support with full details of the system that you are using!
with more practice, there'll be a light at the end of tunnel.
wundebar!
This app is helping me to learn a new language with happiness though the difficulties and thus making me love this language even more.
I love the layout of this course. I plan on following up with Italian.
