Rocket Italian Reviews

For the price this is a very good program and the interactive sections are easy to understand. I've used other online programs and so far this one is the best. My main dissatisfaction with it has to do with the organization of the information presented. After the self study sections it would make sense to use the new vocabulary and/or concepts presented during the interactive lessons. For example: There's an entire lesson dealing with the weather but no where in the succeeding interactive lessons is there any discussion of weather. When vocabulary is not used, it's easily forgotten. And you end up with little sense of how to include it in conversation. Also, when new grammatical concepts are introduced in the interactive lessons there isn't always a discussion of the concept. Examples: (1) Nel, nella, negli are presented in unit 4. It's a completely new group of prepositional phrases, but there's no explanation. (2) When nouns ending in E are pluralized, the ending is always i (as in the masculine) regardless of whether the noun is masculine or feminine. I purchased an Italian grammar book and was able to clear up my confusion around this, but it should have been mentioned in one of the lessons where a plural feminine noun ended in an i. These are just the most recent issues of this kind I've encountered. There are more. So, more thought regarding organization and presentation would be warranted.

fun and thorough Grazie!

I feel more confident about my ability to learn a second language from having practiced only 2 sessions in Rocket Language compared to multiple levels of another source.
From my little experience and in my opinion, if you truly want to LEARN another language, Rocket Languages really delivers a true and realistic use and understanding of the alphabet, grammar and pronunciation without the drab explanations that don't benefit the student.
I'm looking forward to continue learning Italian.

I love the interactive nature of the program. I'm happy to listen but enjoy the fact that I can then speak and hear whether my accent is correct. The program is engaging and most enjoyable. My confidence has increased greatly since starting the program earlier this year.

As I work my way through the Rocket Italian lessons, I am really learning Italian. Everything is explained so that the grammar makes sense, and I am getting lots of practice speaking Italian. I have tried other online programs, and they do not even come close to the thoroughness of Rocket Italian. Besides, the dialogues are fun!

I am enjoying it, I just completed my first lesson and it is helping me to keep my motivation

Loving the logical progression of lessons! Best to also supplement with reading short stories and listening to podcasts.

Trying the free course for an upcoming trip to Rome and Pompeii. Loving the course. I already speak several languages that are similar to Italian so its really great to hear the different pronunciation from a native speaker and have simple descriptions of what and why without getting to the difficult part which is understanding how the English (that's my native tongue) describe how and why words change :-D I think I'll be signing up for more languages from Rocket. Hope they do Basque

Fantastic language program well done and very comprehensive! you definitely get what you pay for

This course was recommended online after my CD Roms from Rosetta Stone became totally useless with the disappearance of Adobe Flashplayer. The price is reasonable and the practice is quite good.
