Rocket Languages Reviews

I really wanted to learn Italian for i pesonally think its a beautiful language. I had a really hard time learning it because not alot of people here know it. Ever since i started using rocket languages my life has been made so much easier. It's easy to use and my italian has improved and thats all thanks to rocket languages (Maria DiLorenzi).

I'm so glad I found Rocket Italian! It's my new happy place, which manages to be as effective and entertaining as podcasts and apps I've tried without being pedantic, patronizing, or repetitive. Alex and Maria are excellent hosts and keep things practical with helpful cultural notes and realistic situations. Even though Alex has a distinctly American accent in comparison to Maria, it's endearing and instructive in its own way. I'm having a blast so far and can't wait to get to later, more complex conversations.

The Software is very interactive and the instructors use clear pronunciation, which can be a problem in the competitors products. Personally I listen to one or two lessons a day on my way to class, but I also repeat the same lessons on the way back. This style is a little more time consuming, but I've noticed my retention of the phrases and ability to understand the dialogue has been increased drastically.

Although I have followed some other Italian language courses, I like this course particularly because of the recording facility, which allows you to hear what you sound like in Italian, as well as the excellent explanations of the grammar points. I also like the numerous tests and the role play sections which mirror as near as possible what it is like to take part in a conversation in Italian. I am not sure I have mastered how all the tests work, but I am sure this will become clearer once I have gone further in the course.

I have just started learning Italian with Rocket Languages. So far it is the best language course out of all courses I tried before. Very well structured! And one if the best things about it is keeping everything in one app on my mobile. Thank you!

I absolutely adore Rocket Languages! I can't believe how much I'm learning and how good I feel about it. I've tried many language learning programs before (including the much-touted Rosseta Stone) and there is definitely no comparison. The key to Rocket Languages' superiority are the audio lessons with the hosts. They "get" how adults learn and take the time to stop and tell you the grammar. The humor is appreciated as well. I really feel like I have a shot at improving my Italian in time for my trip next April. I can also hardly wait to finish the Italian course so I can then purchase the French course. I highly recommend Rocket Languages.

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.)
