Rocket Languages Reviews

After few weeks of training I am able to grade the Rocket Languages platform, as a serious, smart and performance oriented way of mastering foreign language. This is highly recommended tool, that will be able to help you to learn a language while beeing able to maintain your interest and motivation levels up.

I looked around for an online Italian course and I chose Rocket Italian. I haven't been disappointed - the software and lessons work very well and are taking me along my journey to becoming fluent. Through the course I am building a good base. I am now confident to converse with Italians through a local group. I love how I can pick up and drop down at home or work.

Very happy with Rocket languages. I am currently taking the Spanish course but I am trying to switchover to Italian?
I am waiting to hear from customer service( I just contacted them) .....hopefully it’s doable.

Overall Rocket Italian is a pretty good system. You get exposed to the language in a variety of ways and have some explanation as to why a particular pattern exists.

It does have the problem that there is only one correct answer for each thing. This of course ignores the fact that many things can be said in slightly different ways. As an example the phrase "She is angry" technically can be said as either "Lei è arrabbiata" OR "È arrabbiata" however the only accepted answer is "È arrabbiata". In other places an answer is only accepted if it has a he/she indicator.

There are also numerous places where the English phrase refers to you plural but for some strange reason they have not realized that _every_ place they do that needs some kind of indicator that they mean you plural rather than you singular since English only has 'you'.

Overall the issues with Rocket Italian aren't that big but they make it feel more like you are memorizing lines in another language rather than learning another language. The dialogues are the worst for this as they slowly take away more of the words you are supposed to say but you have to say the phrase word for word to get it right even though there are times when you could get the same meaning across with slightly different words. (They really should package the dialogue portion so that it can be used by actors memorizing lines as that is what it does.)

I'm having so much fun learning the language of my parents and grandparents. I didn't learn Italian growing up as my parents wanted to be American. When they got older they regretted not having taught us. But it's never too late to learn. I took 4 years of French in high school, so some of this is a bit familiar to me, however that was many years ago. Thank you for making this so much fun.

Rocket Italian is an amazing product! I've tried Rosetta Stone in the past but found their lesson plans to be boring. Rocket Italian is engaging and an overall better value since it's far less expensive.

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.

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.

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.

Rocket languages has really helped me a lot, I got to learn how to speak Italian within a week by the time I went there on holiday I found it easy to interact with Italian people and my friends and they were impressed! I would also encourage individuals to join this site , its not just an everyday class you attend, you have fun doing it too. ciao!
