Rocket Italian is a popular Italian learning system. Does it really work?
WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM?
Rocket Italian comes as a CD set or a downloadable package. Inside you will find audio recordings, special software games, videos, and more. In addition to that, you are given access to the "Learning Lounge" where you can test your skills, and communicate with other students and instructors.
The idea behind the system is to try to teach Italian by "visual association". You learned your mother tongue by visual association. You SAW an object and HEARD the word simultaneously. In this manner you easily and quickly picked up the meanings of words. Rocket Italian aims to duplicate this process with the use of video, audio, and software.
DOES IT REALLY WORK?
If you are serious and willing to work with the material regularly, Rocket Italian is a very powerful way to learn to speak Italian. Ideally, you should try to view the material for a little time everyday (30min to 1hr at least). The lessons are designed to build on each other. Therefore, being consistent is crucial.
Learning a language is alot like learning to ride a bike. For the first 6 or 7 lessons you might think that you aren't getting anywhere. If you keep going, however, you will come to a point when things suddenly "fall into place". You will find yourself creating sentences without effort and hearing most of the words in the audio recordings.
From there you can go on to add more vocabulary and more advanced grammar.
IS IT FOR EVERYONE?
Some people find it hard to focus unless there is some outside pressure like an upcoming "exam" or a teacher checking their "homework".
Rocket Italian is a learn at home system. It is powerful but you must provide the follow-through yourself
If you feel you need the pressure of a class situation in order to follow through, consider a class at a local college. Remember, however, that a class will cost more and will take longer.
If you are serious about wanting to learn Italian and can put aside a little time each day, Rocket Italian can get you speaking Italian in 8-10 weeks.
