Rocket Italian Reviews

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.

The Rocket learning system is a logically thought out way to build vocabulary and grammar, while the dialogue and cultural background sections gives each lesson great context. It is a most enjoyable way to learn a language. The fact that one can go back to a previous lesson to review something (and that it is easy to find) helps a lot. Listening to instructors speaking in a native tongue puts one almost in the country that one is learning the language of. Well done RL.

I have learned a lot with the Rocket Italian course. It is great, because I can study whenever I want, and there are a lot to do, I can practice my listening, writing and also record my speech.
I am happy about that...
Thanks

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 am learning at my own pace. It is easy to follow. It is my first time that I am learning a language online. It helped a lot when i started to watch tv with Italian language. I can understand better several meanings.

My only concern is that I cannot open the flash cards of the games, but the full program is very good.

We're preparing for a trip to Italy and hope this paves the way. Though the first part of the trip will be with a tour group of mostly English speakers, the second half will be "on our own," so some degree of fluency will be essential.

I am really enjoying my Rocket Italian lessons. I like the changes especially the "reset" buttons which allow you to go back and revise and re do. This helps with remembering words & phrases. I am looking forward to trying out my new skills on my Italian friends.

Fantastic course. A good mixture of grammar and practical, engaging exercises and audio.

Frankly, I think Rocket Italiano is very good. Though it is slow going for me, it does seem thorough. I do think the price is perfect and if I get through this first course, I will continue with the next course. I am going to Sicily at the end of June and the first part of July, so I hope I have it somewhat together by then.

Motivation to learn a different language is the key. I like the way Rocket Italiano has provided different ways to keep this interesting. The testing is interesting, as is trying to speak the way the instructors speak. I have not gone through the entire course step by step, but I have jumped around a bit and keep coming back for more.

I am wondering though if there is a major difference between the Italian language and the Sicilian language. I have relatives in Sicily and I am going to try to communicate with them when I am visiting. Some of them I have never met. It should be interesting. I will continue the course when I get back and if I am comfortable enough, I will enroll in the next Rocket Italiano course. As of right now though, it seems that I have a long way to go.

I just started using the Rocket Language Italian course and I am extremely pleased so far. I've tried Pimsleur in the past - which I enjoyed but it lacked the cultural and grammatical explanations necessary for successful learning. In addition, the combination of the audio lessons and testing pages makes Rocket Language the most complete language learning tool I've tried. In addition to the actual course the customer service is wonderful. Specifically, Aeysha was extremely helpful when I was ordering the all three courses and answered all of questions.
