Rocket Italian Reviews

I am enjoying my Rocket Italian course. The lessons are well structured with useful information on some Italian verbs.
I like the fact the lessons are spoken at a slow speed before we hear the Italian spoken at a normal speed . plenty of opportunity to test your own pronunciation .
Keep up the good work !
Thank you

Overall this is a very good program.
*I compare this with DuoLingo online learning as well as a personal coach I use with Verbling. Also against Babble
which I used for 6 months.
*Price is kind of high but it is for a complete program so I'm neutral on this rating.
*Lessons are interesting. I could use less of the banter but still, very good content when focused on actual language
skills. Of great importance to me are the moderators speaking in a clear and moderate speed. Rocket delivers on
this!
* Now to my most concerning (to me) knock...Some of the exercises are terribly long in the Language and Cultural
sections. It's not uncommon to have 50, 60 or greater than 70 words, phrases or sentences to learn, memorize and
recite back. Personally, I get very frustrated when i fail due to sheer volume of material. Knowing how difficult and
frustrating these exercises are, I have to fight the urge to simply by-pass these sections. Reducing the volume within
Language and Cultural modules would be a huge plus for me.

A good way to learn some basic language skills that can assist with getting around a foreign country.

This is a good way to teach people a new language, it requires you to actually speak the language and builds off what you learned, so you don't forget it.

So far level 1 of Rocket Italian is pretty easy. Spanish is my native language. My only concern is if the later modules will go more in depth into Italian slang (depending on region). From personal experience I find that most people who learn Spanish later in life use terminology that native speakers don't use. Or don't understand "improper" Spanish. Also out of curiosity, have you guys considered offering a rated-R version of Rocket language learning? Lol

The verbal, visual and written repetition in everyday conversation is very useful. The language recognition software is pretty good but longer phrases get dropped occasionally.
The explanation of language structure is succinct and appropriate.

A big grazie to Maria and Alex for the easy going way of teaching! I like the length of each lesson, 15-20 min, so you can easily squeeze into your daily schedule. Like the Rocket review before each new lesson. The interactive web features are so helpful. I also like Maria teaching grammar bits & pieces, instead of long boring lecture. I am in lesson 1.4, just love Rocket!

I am a brand new devotee to the Rocket family and have just started making my way through the beginner Italian course. Thus far I am finding the lessons extremely helpful and easy to navigate, and I'm confident that this degree of teaching will be evident throughout the full course . The platform setup is very well thought out and the learning aids are very impressive as are the 2 hosts, Maria and Alex. I look forward to continuing and completing the course and will continue to refer to the modules in order to refresh and retain my learning. This is definitely the best online learning experience I have witnessed, so well done Rocket.

I have started using Rocket Italian recently and have been very impressed with the product. The narrators Maria and Alex are lighthearted, fun and interesting to listen to, and the flashcards and other learning aids are very effective. I also found the cultural elements very interesting. I think that by comparison to other products that I have seen, this is certainly one of the best. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rocket Languages to anyone.

We are really enjoying learning Italian with Rocket Languages. Having your pronunciation rated is a real bonus, it's something that a real teacher might not be able to convey as accurately. It can also be quite funny finding out what an Italian would hear as opposed to what you thought you said. We also like the reading, writing and comprehension activities. Because the grammar of the language is explained you get a greater understanding of the language and feel like you're 'learning; the language and not just repeating and memorising it parrot fashion.
