Rocket Italian Reviews

I've tried two other popular language learning problems.....but always was so disappointed...I'm extremely ADD and they just didn't work with me....however, Rocket rules....I'm so happy with this program and I am actually remembering what I learned....for a person who always struggled with learning, this has been wonderful.

I’ve tried a lot of different language learning resources and Rocket Italian is by far the best.

Its all in all a nice way to learn a language, I'm currently in the trial for Italian and Japanese as those are the 2 languages that I am currently learning. It would be even better if the app would not always crash when trying to do the flashcards.

Besides that I am happy with what this program offers.

Overall seems like a good program, but when using the app or browser from the phone the audio recorder doesn’t work.

Rocket Italian is the best application for learning Italian; great dialogue and practice exercises reinforce learning in an enjoyable format

I am half Italian and Hispanic, I was adopted from South America and I never knew my native tongue which is Spanish. People have asked me if I am Italian and I always say I'm half....when in truth I look more Italian than Hispanic, I have always loved the Italian language and always wanted to learn, I helped my mom learn when she went to Italy last year and the basic words I picked up on quick, so, I had the itch to learn. Rocket Italian is amazing and I love it !!!! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn Italian or any language. BEST CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER !!!!

So far, so good. I have been using Duolingo, and it was good. But, I needed a change and a different method. My difficulties come with syntax and verb conjugation

I am using Rocket Italian as a review to the Italian I studied "Molti anni fa" in college so that I can be more fluent and approachable when I travel. I like the pace and the ability to skip around. However, the American accent of Alex is distracting and there is too much spoken English. I can see if a beginner is trying to get traction it might be okay. I am looking forward to moving up into the later levels. Overall, hearing so much English and the English accent is distracting. There are also some grammar errors in the translations along the way. For the price, I would expect more flawless execution. However overall, I like the conversational approach and the ability to hop around to get what I need to progress.

Rocket's multi-modal learning formula works very well: listen, respond orally, respond in writing, translate both ways. This really hammers the language into your cortex via all channels. The voice recognition software, while not always perfect, is a remarkably useful feature. The help desk, finally, responds courteously to my comments.

My only wish is that the Rocket Italian team might themselves work very slowly and carefully through the whole course, seeking every occasion where a question and its corresponding answer does not match, and in general where the question is not sufficiently defined (number, gender etc.) to point unambiguously at the answer expected by the software. None of these glitches greatly reduces the effectiveness of the course, but their frequent occurrence is irritating and, to that extent, distracting.

Your subscribers could alert you to these glitches if a 'report problem' was attached to every event, not just some, where the subscriber must speak, write or press a button.

The system, so far, seems good, though I dislike the way it's presented (e.g., the often "cute" wording and the constant exclamation points).
But I truly resent the constant spam from Rocket Languages that began the moment I paid, and that continue despite my making every attempt to unsubscribe.
And I hate the high-pressure sales technique and the "snake oil" methods of pushing the product. I was hard pressed to buy the program with how it was being marketed, and only the generally very favorable reviews, and the money-back guarantee, made me overlook the insulting marketing.
An email to Rocket explaining these opinions remains unanswered at writing.
