I'm very new to Rocket (only a few lessons in). I love the idea, and almost all the execution, think it's a great design - well-organized, relevant conversational topics, practical for likely real-life situations, and there's lots of opportunity to practice (recording, writing, quizzes, etc).
Overall happy!
I have to say though that having to listen to one of the 2 two teachers for the course speak Italian with a really strong American accent is super-annoying. I don't want to hear that, it's not helpful. (I have a hard time imagining what Rocket could have even been thinking there...)
All that said, I'm still glad to have it. I'm going to Rome in 4 mo for the first time, and I feel like this will give me a great foundation for very basic interactions, which always feels good.

Thanks so much for your review and feedback - it's much appreciated. We wanted to let you know that our level 2 and 3 courses, plus the Travelogue lessons, include only native speakers speaking Italian. We are hoping to update Level 1 at some point, as well, with a native speaker. I hope that helps. Have a great trip to Rome!
