I am almost 75 years old and it's a long time since I did any study, but I'm finding this programme stimulating and user friendly. It is a good balance between the written and spoken word and combining it with little cultural snippets makes it more interesting and brings some reality into the learning. I would recommend it to anyone at any level.
I have tried many different language programs. They were too boring or expensive. Of the many attempted, only the Rocket program has keep me interested and motivated to make my conversational skills fluent. I plan to take many more courses with this system and would recommend to anyone who wants to learn one of their languages easily and completely. Considering the lifetime access for necessary periodic review, the package cannot be beat by any other language program.
I bought Rocket Languages to learn Italian. I have found it an excellent resource especially with the microphone and pronunciation rating. With my Aussie accent the program makes me more aware of the way I need to speak for a 100% score on my speech.
The program is extensive and now that I am back from my Italian Holiday I look forward to learning more ready for next years trip. I love ❤️
This course is the first I've tried with the voice recognition feature and I greatly appreciate its ability to help me with speaking out loud, both in my pronunciation and level of confidence. I had studied Italian for a few years and had a good understanding of basic grammar and possessed a decent vocabulary, but never mastered the speaking without feeling a bit self-conscious.
I chose to start Rocket Italian at Level 1 and enjoyed the material. I'm on to Level 2 and intend to eventually do Level 3 as well. So far this has been a very positive experience and am glad I chose Rocket Languages.
I've been struggling to find the time to learn Italian for ages, then with a trip planned, I needed to learn it faster. Rocket Italian has been great for just that; my conversational Italian has improved enormously and with the culture and explanation sections i now understand how the language works much better!
I started this program as a teacher of Spanish, and having worked in a restaurant with native speakers of Italian, giving me a major leg-up. The program is good at addressing listening, speaking, and reading... I'll have to see how writing develops long-term, but they do have you spell the words. The semantically unrelated vocabulary (you learn words that are not all part of a "list" with each lesson) helps with retention. For what you pay, there is a TON of content. I'm curious to see the user forums in the future.
I'm also curious to try one of their non-Romance language offerings, to see how the acquisition is. Part I of Italian was overall enjoyable and easy to fit into a very busy schedule.
I have been searching for a way to regain my conversational Italian, that allows me to do so at work, at home and on the go. It took me some time after reading reviews and trying other programs to take the plunge and purchase Rocket Italian. It has not disappointed me, I moved quickly through the basics for a quick review and already I am back to speaking again. Great product I look forward to completing the entire program and having to refer to as I need in the future.
Just coming up on ten days using Rocket Language, and the flexibility and ease of use have allowed me to develop good habits so far. The course is well organized, and varied, which helps with avoiding boredom, particularly during the necessary repetition of early stage practice. The audio is well done, and the multi-platform nature of the testing makes it possible to study in small bits, or in bursts, whichever fits my energy level and schedule for the day. It's not without weaknesses - I could wish for a few more visual aids, and charts for focused review. It may be I simply haven't progressed far enough into the subject material to find these yet. Having completed one module in 9 days, I'm going to try to sustain a similar pace going forward. It appears this will require between 1 and 1.5 hours a day in Level 1. Will update if necessary. Also, for keyboard users, some of the written testing can be accomplished much more quickly if you use a keyboard-mouse click option - hover the mouse over the rating key you use most often, and create a hot-key to click with - increases speed and reduces frustration, for me, anyway.
I'd like to start with a statement, that this is a very subjective opinion. I have been active user of Rocket Italian for some 4 months. At the same time I was (also very actively) using another programs, like Duolinguo, Memrise, RosettaStone and various on-line Italian podcasts and learning programs "on the fly", both on PC and on a mobile devices (mainly smartphone) - News in Slow Italian, Learn Italian etc. Having such a broad experience I can say, that Rocket Italian is a very useful and efficient way of learning Italian. What I wanted most is to avoid direct comparisons between various platforms, especially because such comparisons are not reasonable. Probably there is not a single universal platform for everybody, and there seems to be no "one fits all" philosophy, at least when it comes to programs facilitating language learning. Every platform is oriented slightly differently, and possibly is optimal for different types of learners (visual, audio, kinetic, mixed etc), wanting to learn different skills first/most (grammar, vocabulary, speaking, etc.). But taking into consideration all this things I can say honestly, that Rocket Italian is OPTIMAL FOR ME.
I am finding the Rocket Italian course really helpful in learning the language. I have wanted to learn Italian for some time, but was always nervous that I might freeze up when actually faced with needing to speak it. But the voice recording and playback options online negate this as it allows you to become accustomed with pronunciation and helps build self confidence.
I'm thoroughly enjoying the lessons, and feel like Maria and Alex have become daily friends I "hang out" with. I would definitely recommend this course if you are desiring to learn the language!
