Rocket Languages review criteria
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
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!

Great price and lots and lots of great tools to improve your language skills and become comfortable with your Italian.
I was extremely please by how all of the review show higher rating compared to other programs (i.e: Rosetta Stone) and how the price is much lower. The content is great, by providing you with means to speak, listen, and practice your italian, as well as learn about the culture and costumes of the country and the people.
I also enjoy knowing that I have lifetime access to the software and all that it comes with, which allows me to go back to it whenever I please.
I love Rocket Languages! I have Levels 1-3, which are extremely comprehensive. I enjoy the mix of listening, speaking, writing, and reading lessons. I was previously using Duolingo (which is free and great for basic learners), and it got me to about 60% fluency. I still needed lots of help with listening to conversations and answering in Italian, and that's where Rocket Italian has been most useful.
Good common phrases. Basically, very happy with the course.
Negative: 1. At the end of each lesson are LONG phrases that are almost impossible to learn at the early stage. 2. One of the male readers is VERY difficult to understand, compared to all the others. He has the lowest voice and slurs unintelligible sounds.
I have used rocket Spanish and loved it. I will soon be taking a trip to Italy so I am now trying to learn using rocket Italian . Rocket Languages, in my opinion, are the very best and easiest way to learn a new language.
The program--either on desktop or tablet, often does not record my voice, and thus does not record portions of lessons. This is not getting better. Until Rocked Languages can improve its server, I'd advise avoiding the program.

Hi Tim - We recommend using a headset microphone if you are on desktop. If you are using a tablet then we would recommend using the appropriate Android or iOS app. Please let customer support know if these suggestions don't fix the issue!
I love Rocket Italian. I had studied Italian on my own for a few years. I am older so I did not learn it quickly, but I had made good progress. I had used Rosetta Stone and college workbooks I had purchased online. But there were definitely things I needed help with. Rocket Italian has helped me with pronunciation, increased my vocabulary, and helped with the proper use of prepositions and certain verbs. Prepositions can be incredibly confusing. This program is filling in all the blanks I needed help with before. I love the humor. I love the explanations of word usage I hadn't gotten before in my studies.
I rated it all 5's. I don't know if I will ever want to learn another language, but if I did, I would buy Rocket Italian. Having said that, I would also use Rosetta Stone again. Rocket Italian was the perfect addition and exactly what I needed. And if I wanted to give a gift to a grandchild who is learning a language, I would buy Rocket Italian. And I would recommend it to a friend.
The price was reasonable I thought. I bought it when it was on sale. I am getting my money's worth.
I have not really used the customer service. I called once. The person was nice.
Unlike Rosetta stone this teaches you things you can actually use and provides actual instruction. There is a good mixture of interactive audio lessons, activities, flash cards, review and more. It's nice to hear a native speaker and a non native (American) one too. I enjoy that this include some cultural pointers too. I can avoid ordering the wrong type of coffee for the wrong time of day! The mobile app seems a bit unresponsive. This has led me to doing most things on my Mac and listening to the audio portion on my iPhone on the way to work. I took a couple of years of Italian in college and this is a good way to learn all I forgot. It's helpful to have an explanation of some of the literal phases. Overall, great product for the money.
