Rocket Italian Reviews

Rocket Italian is a great primary tool to use in learning Italian. The interactive audio lessons are engaging and they do a very good job of getting you to speak and write in Italian. The language and culture lessons offer a more in-depth opportunity to delve into the grammar and other technical issues of learning a language.

Sometimes you see something in one of the lessons that isn't explained as thoroughly as it could be (it is hard to cover EVERYTHING without being overwhelming). A place where Rocket Italian really shines is the forum. For most web sites, the Q&A forum is a black hole where questions go to disappear. For Rocket Italian, it is truly a valuable resource for filling in the blanks - led by terrific tutor Lucia!

As a point of comparison, a few years ago, I tried the "big name" in language learning. It was terribly disappointing. I spent 3x on "big name" compared to Rocket Italian, and it was not 1/10th as good. When I decided to re-commit to learning Italian, I did a lot of research and demo'd a few other offerings. Rocket Italian is by far the most comprehensive and fun to use. Highly recommend to anyone who has decided to get serious about learning a new language.

I have started to learn Italian with Rocket Languages less than 2 weeks ago. I spend quite some time every day - and I can say that my progress is just fantastic. My goal is to have an awareness in basic situations within 2 months - and I am now sure I will come to it. I want to surprise my Italian friends and colleagues next time we meet - as they don't think I speak any Italian. Good idea - isn't it? And by the way just last week I have been refused to get a job - because Italian was needed. Never again I want to be in the same situation - it cannot be a point to be refused.
Italian is my third foreign language - and the Rocket Languages methodology is so efficient I could never think of. I encourage everybody thinking of picking up a new language - don't hesitate, go for Rocket Languages and for sure you won't be disappointed.

I have tried every audio software and physical classes to learn languages; Rocket is the first course I have actually enjoyed and stuck to! The content is very in depth and engaging; I particularly like how they explain how the language works culturally. As I am living in Italy I found this very useful. It is the most interactive software and the various tool really make you feel like you are making progress while making it easy to memorise.

I am just in the early Italian lessons but already I have a feel for the language. The ROCKET style is both immersive and explanatory. The lessons are based on real conversations and then verbs and grammar are expanded. The added cultural references are fantastic!
I think the strongest feature of the curriculum lies with the ability to record your own voice and compare it to the lesson speaker. I am able to speak and listen over and over, hearing every little inflection until I get it right. At the introduction to each lesson, it sounds difficult. At the end of each lesson it seems so easy. The review before each new lesson reinforces the previous lesson. As an instructor myself, I appreciate the careful lesson plan that engages vocalization, comprehension, vocabulary expansions, and written words. But unlike dry textbook style, the lesson is really just a typical conversation, so you feel able to jump right into a situation and understand. I have wanted to speak Italian my whole life so I can travel to Italy and now I am so exited that this is now within my reach.

The Rocket Italian course is a great way to learn Italian for someone like me that doesn't have a lot of extra time. I listen while I eat lunch, on the way to work, on the way home and at night after supper. It is fun to be able to learn and enjoy listening to Maria and Alex as they present the lessons in an entertaining way. The lessons hit the subject from different angles, allowing the brain to work on the language in ways that help you remember more quickly and thoroughly. I am eager to start every day.
My plan is to be able to at least be conversational when we go to Italy for our 49th anniversary in two years.

I was originallyyoung drawn in by the great reviews and I'm happy to say I agree with them. The pacing of the lessons is great and the price was well worth it especially if you compare to classroom lessons

what do get if you procrastinate and are indecisive about learning a new language on line? You get Rocket!!!!!
I did not get as far in the lessons as I wanted but even though our three Italian guests we were taking around touring for three weeks spoke minimal English at most, and our Italian was minimal this course was set out so well that we could search the situation and communicate with one another far better than using an English-Italian dictionary. I am continuing on and I would recommend this course without reservation.

I had been using less sophisticated apps over the last few years, which only minimally assisted me in my recent 2 trips to Italy. The trips were amazing, but I was frustrated that I wasn't able to use the language more when I was there. I'm determined to visit again and I now feel much more confident that, with this program, I will be much more able to converse with the Italians when I'm there. This program is also the only one I've experienced that incorporates the unique and wonderful Italian culture along with the lessons, which I think is inextricably linked to the language itself. I highly recommend it!

I am taking the Italian course and it's been great so far. The recorded dialogues are clear and engaging and increase difficulty at an appropriate rate. I am actually surprised at how motivating the point system is -- I find myself staying longer to complete course work and rack up points. The exercises can get repetitious, but that comes with the territory in a language course and is really jus what one should be doing. I have purchased three levels of instruction and am looking forward to completing all of the levels before I go live abroad for a year.

I have been using the Rocket Italian app for a couple of months and I honestly say that it is one of the best purchases I could have made. Being able to speak Italian helps a lot, most apps you write it and never pronounce it.

With Rocket Languages you get judged on your pronunciation, and that is very helpful. Every lesson is easy to understand and follow. I would recommend this website to anyone that wants to learn a second language.
