I've taken other media for Italian language classes, including person to person lessons, but none compare to the effectiveness of the Rocket system. Some students learn by seeing, others by hearing and others by doing and feeling (experiencing). Rocket covers all three by showing you examples, having you hear them slowly, then having you write it; finally by "feeling" the culture and the grammar you get a rounded education as language is not just repetition but immersing in the culture. Also, their pace is just right: not too much at a time to overwhelm you - so they are "excellent teachers" and they make sure that different students, with different modes of communication and perception, will definitely assimilate the material. I was a teacher myself so am very critical of teachers in how they can "reach" and "get through to" students by covering different angles: Rocket has definitely figured out a great well-rounded teaching system... I am very happy with it and am learning at a rate that will ensure fluency before I know it. Thank you so much.
Its a fun way to learn and you learn a lot of vocabulary very quickly. Reviewing previous lessons as you go is a great way of ensuring that everything sticks in memory as much as possible, especially if there is a longer period of time between the lessons. Some of the sentences are rather on the long side to take in and some words it would be nice to see spelt out as you can't always pick it up straight away but overall a very good course.
I've tried Rosetta Stone and Pimsleur...don't waste your time and money on those, this is by far the best language program I've used. If you want a secondary program to expound with, try Duolingo concurrently while you go through this, but if you are only going to use one, stay with Rocket Languages. I would highly recommend it.
The best part that I like is learning the correct pronunciation, and this course is very good for that.
After listening and repeating a few times I know that I have improved a lot in a few days, although there is a long way to go.
I really appreciate how the lessons constantly refer to older lessons. It ties everything together and just allows for me to comprehend it. The lessons are extremely easy to follow and I feel like I'm learning a lot!
Having only been with the lessons for a few weeks I feel this is going to most beneficial for my need to speak Italian by February 2019. It is rewarding to hear myself speak what I think I hear. Also, being able to repeat it for practice till I get it fits into my style exactly.
I have not arrived at the Culture portion yet, but the pictures are intriguing and compelling to have one wanting to speak Italian thereby making the anticipated arrival warm and somewhat familiar.
This style is self driven but the process so far is most productive and comfortable.
Purchasing Rocket Italian and now using it, has confirmed to me it was the way to go.
I researched several language courses and decided on Rocket Languages. I tried the trial offer and the price was very reasonable, so I purchased all three levels. I must say that I have truly enjoyed my first two months of Rocket Italian.
The program keeps me motivated which I believe is very important. If I ever try to learn another language I would definitely buy Rocket Language and I would highly recommend it to friends.
2 months' before a 2 week trip to Italy - time to work on language skills. Rocket came recommended on some web sites, so I tried the free offer and then plunked down the money after working the free lesson. Try it, you'll like it!
I like the ability to go back to any lesson and review. The speech recognition (using Chrome browser and a microphone) is awesome.
will i like how you guys tell me how to use words for me to itlean beacuse evry summer i go to itlay and i need to no more itlean you no so yeah and i like how you let me say it and then you say tooto bene
The introductory lesson was very well done. The host and teacher have pleasant voices, speak clearly and intelligibly and seem enthusiastic. The instructions were clear and the method promotes retention of proper words and pronunciation. I enjoyed the lesson and look forward to improving my Italian vocabulary and pronunciation as we prepare for a visit to Italy next year. I think these lessons will enable me to learn Italian while exercising, a real “win win” as I get ready for lots of walking in the beautiful cities and towns of Italy (where I have no plans to attempt driving an automobile).
