the easy good hard buttons are kind of a hassle, maybe just being able to press the enter key or tab key if its easy. When its easy it causes an unnecessary delay.

Thank you for your feedback, Scott! We actually have a hotkey feature available for the Activities; you can press "1," "2," or "3" to rate your answers as Easy, Good, or Hard. The space bar will reveal the answer. You can find more details by clicking the "i" icon within any activity. Wishing you all the best with your language-learning journey!
So far so good. I've only been doing it for 4 days. But it seems thorough, and is more fast-moving than some other apps. Plenty of vocab and grammar. I find some of the chattiness in English in the dialogues tiresome, though, and I wonder why the American guy, Alex, is not a native speaker. Even I can tell he has an accent. Still, it seems to work pretty well.

Rocket Italian provides an excellent platform, but I need to bring self-discipline to the table.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for the review, Lambert! We're glad Rocket Italian is providing the platform you need. Developing study techniques and sticking to them is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to language learning. Feel free to contact our team at [email protected], and we'd be happy to walk you through some strategies and suggestions!
It's hugely better than DuoLingo, and the price is very reasonable.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you, Tetsuo! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the course and finding it a better fit than other options. We work hard to provide a quality experience at a fair price, and it’s great to know that’s coming through.
Immersive and very interactive. Overall a very well rounded program to start learning the basics.
I took a star off because I wish the Arabic sentences were shown in a bigger font for deciphering the language as a beginner.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for the positive feedback on the immersive and interactive approach, Lutin! We’re glad you're enjoying the program overall. We appreciate the note about font size. Although we don't have a specific setting for this, you should be able to zoom in on your browser to increase the size of the Arabic sentences. Best of luck with your continued language learning!
The cost of the lessons is a bit high for the learners from the developing world

Would be nice to have pictures accompany the spoken phrases for contextual purposes
Response from Rocket Languages
Thanks for your review and suggestion, Ben. This has been passed on to the development team for consideration. Happy learning!
Russian is a difficult language to learn because it has the Cyrillic alphabet and it quite a distance removed from my native English. I find that I have to repeat each lesson multiple times before I am fluent in the pronunciation and can understand the phrases, so to vary the lessons I go back and review earlier modules as the second part of the lesson and work on the vocab side of things. It would help if the vocab were more organised as the countries and peoples survival guide is done.
I mainly use the phone app but have found that the online version has some extra features such as a) Favourites (which helps me list hard vocab or phrases that need extra work) and a hugely useful feature b) which is typing in Russian on a virtual Cyrillic keyboard. I have just discoveed this and will go back over lessons Intro, One and Two to learn how to write the phrases in Russian.
It might have helped if the introduction had mentioned these features a bit more as I find them very useful and a real aid to learning written Russian.
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for this detailed and insightful review. Russian can be a challenging language to learn, and it's great to see how thoughtfully you're approaching your study. We're especially glad you're finding the Cyrillic keyboard and Favorites feature helpful. We've noted your suggestion around highlighting these features earlier in the course. Thank you again for sharing your learning strategy and good luck with your journey to master Russian!
The only thing I don't like is the American guy from the role playing and videos. I find his lines a little distracting, with the bad jokes. That might just be a matter of personal taste as I'm enjoying the content of the course, it would just be nice to be able to choose from some different options!
Response from Rocket Languages
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Jaime. We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the course overall, even if some of the Audio lesson lines don’t quite match your taste. We really appreciate your perspective, and feedback like this helps us consider ways to make the content more flexible and enjoyable for all learners.
