Rocket Languages Reviews

I found that I would prefer to see the written words as well while learning the pronunciation, i did not see this on the trial so i opted out

This has been a very busy time for me so I have not been able to devote 1 hour a day consistently yet. I will try to now and hopefully will
regain more confidence in this language which I've loved and used in the past. ( But not for some years)
I would like time to write
on my own paper words ( and the phonetic pronunciation of them ) when learning conversation which will be useful. I think you're doing a great job at letting us hear the Italian speaker and also the American speaker use the Italian.

What I find is that when I stay with the part where I am doing a lot of speaking and have been for a good amount of time, that I start tripping
over the speech and have to stop because my mouth gets dry. I guess this just means to pace myself more.
Your program is great, and I will get to work with it right now!

it would be nicer if the voice adjustment meter was still part of the program lessons (it helps out a lot, in correcting individual pronunciation): it was perfect with my studies at the University of Florence during 2012. I was able to interact with the people of Florence because of the tools that rocket language provided. Plus, pass all of the tests that was only in the Italian dialogue. Thanks

Wonderful learning tool. Maria and Alexsandro are great. arrivederci

I didn't like the program. It's mostly translating into English. I spent more time listening to the dialogue in English than Italian. Even the Italian girl speaks more English than Italian. A waste of time and money

Just started learning Italian. Enjoy it so far. Still have much to learn

Good morning,

I have recently purchased Rocket Italian and Have just started Module 1. It seems there is a glitch in the audio depiction software every time you are asked to repeat the numbers one, two, three.

Though this does not seem like a big deal, it is to me because it prevents me from getting 100% on the lesson. Being I found this so early on can I be expecting to see more glitches with future modules? Please advise on how to rectify this issue, I am dissatisfied with this product already in its early stages.

I have tried several programs. They consist mostly of flash cards and no analysis. Rocket Italian does analyze the phrases technically, grammatically, and culturally. I will never be fluent until I live in Italy (my Italian parents would not teach me the language) but with Rocket Italian I will be familiar enough with the language ( I already know how it sounds.) I work on it every day without any problem. Ottimo lavoro!

I had been using another online Italian course for about 6 months without being able to converse confidently with my Italian family even though I had learnt 1000 words. I then started looking online at alternative recommended courses and was introduced to Rocket Italian and began their free trial. It was just what I was after and I had little hesitation in signing up for all 3 levels, especially given the very attractive discount pricing. I am now 3 weeks into the course and thoroughly enjoying it! My Italian family have noticed the difference as well.

I've been using Rocket Italian since about March 2019 and I purchased the program because I am required to pass a language exam. I purchased all 3 levels and if you are someone traveling to Italy or learning basic conversational skills this program is great. However, if you have more intermediate needs this program is just ok. It would be nice if there were more breakdowns of the conversations once you get more advanced and provide simple words or phrases to translate. While building skills, the program will ask you to learn the verb to have and memorize extremely long sentences in the same lesson. This happens most lessons and is ineffective for my learning because it doesn't help you practice the skill and learn competency but memorization.

One of the tenses used most often in my work is the historic past and this tense is the one with the least information and preparation. Beyond that, what I've noticed is that the program pushes you to learn specific meanings of words. For example, in one lesson that began with the word "well" I responded with a translation of dunque. The program marked me wrong and was looking for allora. Both are acceptable translations and I am likely to come across both.
