There are so many apps available so I thought I would explore this one. I did find it very user friendly and it invites you to take part. Learning can be a chore and Italian is difficult. The tips were very useful too. I hope I can achieve a better understanding.

I've only done 2 lessons so far but I really like the way its being taught and that the narrator, Paul has a good sense of humor makes it fun.

Ha sido una grata experiencia realizar este aprendizaje. Me encanta el idioma italiano, aunque tengo poco tiempo, en el tiempo que puedo sigo las enseñanzas y consejos entregados. A mi parecer, es una experiencia recomendable, sobretodo, para quien con poco tiempo le gustaría aprender algún idioma. Grazie Rocket languages.

Currently using the trial version to see if its something I'd buy and yes it definitely is, though for the asking price even at a discount I am surprised at how buggy the podcast clip is (when i pause or try to skip back/forward the audio completely stops) and the notes tab needs a function to enlarge as there is wasted space and the box given is too small to see the notes properly forcing me to scroll up and down constantly to see what's written not to mention the scrolling does not break properly and skips note lines. Also do wish there was an option to use this offline other than downloading the podcasts, I see no need to be in browser constantly for this unless I was conversing with others online or keeping track of points.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Adol - Thanks for your review. Regarding the audio issue, I am not sure whether you are using the app or a browser, so please contact customer support and they will sort you out! That is a good point re the Notes section, we will look into enlarging that area. And finally, with the iOS and Android apps you can download the tracks for offline use. You can also download the lessons themselves as PDFs.

The software is pretty good so far. Eventually, more interactive speaking via unexpected questions or commentary to respond to as well as slang would be useful. Entire, paragraphs of speech (some of which I assume will come in more advanced lessons) to have to parse and then respond to in a novel way it seems would be effective.
Also, since language seems to be acquired more effectively through speaking, a way of separating pure speaking instances from reading instances of the same words and phrases, would be useful. Developing learning which does not rely on picturing words in the mind first when they are spoken to you, but a purely separate verbal memory would seem to be useful.
The drilling of the material in various forms is effective. The repetition that comes from it is needed; I know by other experience.
Again so far so good!

I think I found an error in the second lesson --- "Du sprichst gut Deutsch" is ungrammatical -- it should be either "Du sprichst gutes Deutsch" or "Du sprichst gut deutsch"
The set-up seems great and I think there's a lot to learn here but if there are simple errors like that already I'm not sure how much I trust the whole program.

Response from Rocket Languages

Hi Robin - Nope, what we have is correct! Du sprichst gut Deutsch "You speak German well (literally: You speak well German)" and Du sprichst gutes Deutsch "You speak good German" are both grammatical sentences; they both appear in phrase boxes in the lesson and are explained briefly in the audio. In both sentences, we're talking about the language (das Deutsch), which means that it is a noun and it must be capitalized. The word deutsch without a capital would be an adjective. In the first sentence, gut "well" is an adverb that is modifying sprichst "speak" and in the second sentence, gutes is an adjective that is modifying Deutsch. I hope that's helpful!
