Rocket Italian Reviews

It is very easy to download an audio lecture and listen along in the car. 20 minute lectures aren't too long to become bored or tired, and they're not too short to feel like you didn't receive enough information. I am not great at learning languages, but this program is actually helping me understand and speak Italian rather quickly!

I am loving learning the language of my grandmother by this system. She lived with me and my parents in Australia until I was 12 and she occasionally spoke and sang to me in Italian. That was nearly 50 years ago and as a result I spoke Italian like a 2 year old - pointing and naming things with no grammar or modern constructions when I started this course. Lots of practice and revision is needed but I find myself starting to think in Italian!

I spent a month in Italy in 1976 and got by with mime and pointing and naming but we are finally going back there in September to a Villa in Tuscany where my husband is doing a photography masterclass. I will travel around solo by public transport to Sienna, Florence and Pisa and complete part of the Camino walk. So I've been studying with Rocket and finding it fantastic. The practical nature of the conversations for a tourist when combined with the excellent grammar instructions ( I was an English teacher) has been perfect.
I purchased all three Levels of Italian and will have fully completed Level 1 by the time we travel and work on the others when we get back. Hopefully we can return to Italy in future years to make full use of this excellent resource.

I like the way review is spiraled into several lessons, so the words really stick. I also like the multimodal practice with each lesson. I expected to have some difficulty picking up Italian after many years of not practicing any language except English, but I'm learning more quickly and remembering more thorougly than I thought I would. Tutto bravo!

Quite simply, Rocket works! I’ve tried other major products with previous languages, that weren’t nearly as effective as Rocket, despite them costing a lot. I am learning Italian at a much quicker rate than I expected based on previous experience, and it’s sticking! I like the repetition and reinforcement methodology, supported via multiple tools, including flash cards and voice recognition exercises. I highly recommend Rocket compared to others.

I’ve tried one other Italian course and could repeat the sound ok only to learn later that how it came out wasn’t accurate. Seeing then writing really helps. Unfortunately I’ve just started rocket and timing hasn’t been good. I’m looking forward to soon having more free time to actually devote to this. So this request for a review came pretty early.

Rocket Italian is great! I've tried many other programs and prefer Rocket to them all. The mix of activities and resources just plain works for me. By the end of the first trial day I was hooked.

We are going to Italy in 3 months and I decided to try the trail of rocket language after reading reviews of this product and others. So far I am loving it! I feel confident by trip time Ill be able to carry on some conversations in Italian and understand some or what the locals are saying. Very happy with how rocket language goes about teaching!

Really GREAT ! lessons are fun and interesting.
Enough repetition for learning enhancement but not boring.
I am only half way through lesson two of level one and have learned so much. And when I have completed level one I will enthusiastically purchase level two.
THANK YOU ROCKET !!

I completed the trial of Rocket Italian and was suitably impressed to invest in the full course including levels 2 and 3. I really enjoy the lessons and have made more progress with this course than any other I have tried. I particularly like the ability to interact with the dialogue, the voice recognition, and the mobile app so that I can review/continue my lessons when on the move. Although I initially hesitated making a purchase because of the price, I rationalised the decision based on the fact that Rocket Language offered something better than learning from a book/CD audio course, and it's a lot cheaper and more convenient than attending classes or personal 1-1 lessons. I also realised that making the purchase confirmed how serious I was about wanting to learn Italian and sealed my commitment to doing it. In fact, given the quality of source material, and the ingenious use of tech, I regard my purchase as 'good value for money' and would certainly recommend Rocket Italian to others. There has clearly been a lot of work given to making this course as good as it is.

I am fully enjoying learning Italian with Rocket Languages. It's a program that is very thorough and easy to use. I have tried other programs in the past and would find them very boring. I am very happy I bought the program!
