other language software teaches phrases, but Rocket teaches you the grammar to speak confidently.

Mimrise and duo don't give any feedback, its just guess correctly with no insight
Just starting Italian, and I am finding the online course interesting and enjoyable. I am looking forward to making further progress.
I love the different reinforcement tools that are provided for each lesson, it really helps solidify the learning when I can hear the language as well as practice reading, writing and speaking.
After some frustration with the iOS app (iPad), I tried Rocket Italian in a laptop browser. Much better experience, but I find the iPad more convenient to use. The best part? Rocket continues to fix the little nits I complain about and my iPad e pertinence is getting better.
Rocket has been batting 1000 replying to complaints and questions. I am much more confident in an app supported by a company willing to respond.
I am really enjoying my course, for me level one is very good revision, as one can forget the basics very easily.
Thank you Rocket Languages
Love the course.. a great mixture of conversation, grammar.. so well thought out.. I should have started with this course first..I can see real difference in my language progress and understanding with rocket
I am going to Florence for my 60th birthday in the fall. I bought Rocket so I could at least know a little Italian. It is hard and I am learning!
I'm very new to Rocket (only a few lessons in). I love the idea, and almost all the execution, think it's a great design - well-organized, relevant conversational topics, practical for likely real-life situations, and there's lots of opportunity to practice (recording, writing, quizzes, etc).
Overall happy!
I have to say though that having to listen to one of the 2 two teachers for the course speak Italian with a really strong American accent is super-annoying. I don't want to hear that, it's not helpful. (I have a hard time imagining what Rocket could have even been thinking there...)
All that said, I'm still glad to have it. I'm going to Rome in 4 mo for the first time, and I feel like this will give me a great foundation for very basic interactions, which always feels good.

Response from Rocket Languages: Thanks so much for your review and feedback - it's much appreciated. We wanted to let you know that our level 2 and 3 courses, plus the Travelogue lessons, include only native speakers speaking Italian. We are hoping to update Level 1 at some point, as well, with a native speaker. I hope that helps. Have a great trip to Rome!
I purchased this course to give me a chance to practice speaking. I had to you 3 different browsers before it would accept my microphone. I find some of the voice responses I made were no were near what I said when fetched. I'm going to keep going for a while but may cancel.
