The Good
Great value for your money. I mean, only $99.95? That's about ONE-QUARTER the price of Rosetta Stone Italian! E-books, interactive audio courses and games, and lots of bonus material. How can you go wrong?
Like all the Rocket Language products (French, Spanish, etc.), Rocket Italian boasts 3 "easy learning games". Are they actually easy? Oh yeah! Your Italian listening, vocabulary, and grammar skills are sure to increase dramatically with each of these interactive learning games, which generally work with multiple choice and flash card games. It's a great way of learning anytime anywhere, as all you need is a Net connection. Or an I-Pod: you can download the audio lessons onto any MP3 device.
The Bad
Not quite as comprehensive as Rosetta Stone: Italian, and definitely better suited for beginner's and intermediate levels. You'll be able to have conversations in Italian with native speakers (if you practice), but you probably won't be ready to work in Italy--get another course for business Italian.
The Free
I really was impressed with the free 6-day course. If nothing else, try it out to learn some rudimentary Italian. It's much more comprehensive than other free language courses.
FINAL RATING: Buy it! If you're serious about learning Italian, don't waste time. How can you go wrong for the price and an unprecedented 2-month, no-questions-asked guarantee (it really is that good--I've verified it!). A bene course indeed. |
