I am working with Rocket_Italian for about a month now - and love it. Despite the fact that it's an audio course I am actually retaining a lot. The many different exercises focusing on "recall" help one pay attention. Grammar is explained well ... but it's not overwhelming. The speakers are fun to listen to ... and the culture remarks offer some interesting insights. Overall, a great program. I wished I had had something like that when I struggled through learning Spanish "the traditional way". Keep up the good work.
Re flash cards: it would help to have pictures in addition to sound to make them "stick better". Maybe this can be added where appropriate?

The ability to add images to the FlashCards is coming soon!
Rocket Italian is the most comprehensive Language course, easy to navigate, just easy to use for fastest results. I just wish I had more time to put into it. I would be further along than I am. Thank you Rocket Italian for all of your help in making me more efficient and proficient in learning the most beautiful language which is Italian.
Took the plunge and bought the complete package after a couple of days of trying the free course. The price is good when you put it against classes, though the classes do help with one on one conversation. Before I started the courseI had some very, and I mean very, basic Italian and struggled with general conversation now, even after less than a month I feel my usage has improved. I have used Duolingo, and still do, it was useful for me and helped me when I moved to Rocket Italian. I am thoroughly enjoying the Rocket Italian Course - finished two modules and looking forward to much more. There are some minor quirks with the technology but nothing to throw me off the course. Sometimes after doing the test the completed doesn't activate and I need to exit to lessons then resume test again and do the one item that the system thinks I haven't done. I use it across three platforms, Android Phone, IPad and Windows 10 laptop, which is great as I have access wherever I am and what I have done seems to sync well across the platforms. The interface works well and I find it very easy to use and navigate. The course Material itself is good and even after using duolingo and also some other programs I find I am learning constantly with this course. The badges are great little motivators, though I do think they come a little easy. I definitely recommend the program.
I started learning italian last year with duolingo, and found it pretty good especially as it's free. But it wasn't helping me much decoding real spoken italian. This is where rocket really scores: it drills you mercilessly at both listening and speaking. And it doesn't provide a 'slow' setting for the many speaking exercises - which is forcing me to focus on the natural running together of words encountered when listening to real speech.
I paid about £80 for levels 1 and 2 courses, which was a recent special offer. Excellent value for money.
The basic principles used by rocket seem very good indeed. Of course I can see all sorts of improvements could be made, but these would require serious resources and no doubt raise the cost. Well done rocket.

I have a very busy life style. Working away a lot all over the UK. My mum's side of the family were from Italy. I've had the desire to learn Italian for this reason and also I plan to honeymoon there in 2018. Rocket Italian is great because I can download lessons and then when doing a long drive a can listen to the lesson.
I am greatly enjoying the Rocket Italian course (whilst continuing with Rocket French). Really glad I bought these courses - they are far better (and much better value for money) than others I have tried as they help you not just to speak and understand but also give valuable insights into how the language 'works'. Short of living in the target language country (or marrying a native speaker!) this is probably the best way of learning a language well.
Rocket Italian has been a perfect fit for my limited time in practicing the basics of the language. I appreciate the different exercises and think this is a solid program for those starting out. Being able to listen to the audio lessons is available and great reinforcement when reviewing vocabulary and other terms. I would buy this product again.
Sometimes you get more than you pay for and that is the case with Rocket Languages. They don't promise more than they deliver and they deliver what they claim. All for a good price!
I've tried the online freebies (I continue to use some of them) but my serious study of Italian is Rocket Languages. While I would have preferred to learn Italian before moving here, Rocket is making the transition easier. Setting my own pace and the ability to review are important to me.
To learn a language it seems you need to see it, hear it, write it and speak it; Rocket incorporates all in one package.
The instructors seem to love Italy and the language and impart lots of information in addition to the language lessons.
Grazie for enriching my time in Italy.
Excellent experience and lots of fun. I really didn't think my learning was going to be that fast, but the more I study the more I want to get home and study. It feels like it is getting into a habit and I am getting addicted to this habit.
I will certainly recommend to my friends that are interested on learning a language.
The learning process is orderly, and the instructors are engaging. Alex can be a bit wooden at times, but that is a minor issue. I need to go through the lessons again and again. Difficult to learn a new language as an older adult, but Rocket Italian is an excellent way to get started. The lessons provide plenty of opportunity to practice. You need to use the website and do the exercises. The audio is not enough for me. I like the daily point system which gives you a goal to strive for. The goal can be met with modest effort (not too little or too much is expected in a given day). I'm still in the first series. I feel I am improving, although iyou must trust the process to derive the benefits. Practice, practice, practice!
