Rocket Languages Reviews

I got a subscription for Rocket Italian for Xmas 2012 and worked at it fairly consistently until we traveled to Italy in May. I was hesitant to speak Italian until we got into a situation where no-one spoke English and then surprised myself by being able to communicate with some farmers who sold us wine and olive oil. On another occasion I got so immersed in a conversation about some church architecture that I completely forgot myself and chatted for some time with a local man about 'domes'. My husband was totally impressed (he didn't know what we were talking about) and takes full credit for giving me the course as a gift.

I have been inspired to learn Italian following a recent holiday to Italy. Rocket Languages Italian is everything it claims to be, and lives up to all the reviews I read. Even just speaking the words and phrases from the first lessons is encouraging me to carry on

I am having a great of computer problems with this program. The record button does not work, I get transferred to ads to take a trial in Spanish (I am taking Italian, and several other strange responses. There is either a virus on your end or on my computer. My virus program can not find anything.

I just started and I don't really really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, like its not amazing but I like it

I love the way lessons are broken down into manageable chunks. Also with the main focus being on spoken Italian in everyday useful situations rather than flash cards telling you the cat has a spoon! The customer support is brilliant too.

It's very interactive and easy to understand, though the initial directions were a little confusing--but only a little. Pronunciation is exact and (so far) easy to imitate. I wait until your speaker has finished so I can more accurately hear if I've mimicked him/her. And having the written Italian along with the pronunciation is helpful.

Good value for the amount of content. The audio quality is good and the activities allow for reinforcing the content. If you do one lesson a day 45 total minutes, I estimate you have a year's worth of content if you buy all three levels.

I haven't logged on for a couple of months and I was extremely pleased with the addition of "Write It" component of learning. By completing the "Write It' component of levels I've already done, I feel like my knowledge in those areas is better. Also I think that upon completion of the Rocket Italian program, I will be better equipped to use the language, both spoken and written.

I have learned more in one month with Rocket Language than two years with Rosetta Stone. Once you get started, you will not want to stop. The reviews before each new lesson are great, they keep everything flowing. The lessons tie together very well.

I like the way that you go over the same thing in different ways which helps to fix the concept in your mind. I have studied Italian and spent some time there over the years and am using Rocket Italian as a refresher.
